You're really serious about this confusion?
Yeah, we have big problems with mental health, of course. And scammers prey on them. I find it odd that somebody wouldn't be interested because some of the victims aren't hot and are crazy. That makes them more sympathetic, IMO.
The first episode is a little slow, but it gets a lot juicier. Homeboy starts telling people he's a Christ figure and the coaching program gets way more abusive. It gets really twisted. But again, the girls are not hot, so this is a stay away.
