'Under the Banner of Heaven' adapts a non-fiction book of the same name, following the
story of a murder committed by two fundamentalist Mormons supposedly under
God's mandates.
Detective Pyre's life as a Mormon (interpreted by Andrew Garfield), is suddenly
shaken while he investigates the murder of a woman, and suddenly discovers
that the church is involved in this terrible acts.
For someone who is an active member of a religion, faith is everything, and learning
something as horrible as the people you thought were good committing murder,
in the name of YOUR faith, more specifically, is not something easy to live through.
Sadly, 'Under the Banner of Heaven' is not a fiction story but something that actually happened
involving real people, which makes everything even more repulsing.
This is not the first time, nor will be the last, that someone uses and manipulate faith for
self advantage, that way they can live a peaceful life without guilt, convincing
themselves that they did in the name of god.
If it's anything like the source material, and with this amazing cast they gathered,
the series will be a devastating murder mystery, and if you're a fan of the genre
or want to know more about what happened with the people involved,
be aware of the Hulu news about the show, we might get a premiere date soon.
