I was somewhat aware of the Mountain Meadow Massacre but I never researched the details so I can’t vouch for the accuracy in how this series renders it. I’m halfway through and I think the production design seems very authentic to the time and places being portrayed. Sometimes I’m bothered by the constant handheld camera and wish there was less of that. I’ll watch it to the end. I’ll never forget my first real awareness of Mormonism. On a ski trip to Utah in 1980 I started to read the Book of Mormon which was in the nightstand of my hotel room. Until then I thought they were a garden variety Protestant Christian offshoot that had a history of polygamy. Learning about Mormon history, how it began and who Joseph Smith was blew my mind.
