There are some pissed off Mormons about the show. The Deseret News is not happy....

As for me..... I think Netflix hit the nail pretty much square on the head. The wife and I binged it and really enjoyed it. Like anything else, it has a few warts, but what doesn't?
4.75 out of 5 stars for us.
I guess they were butt hurt the way Brigham Young was portrayed.A very compelling watch. It touches on some shocking and little known history. I grew up in Mesa, and this definitely wasn't covered in history class.
Perhaps the Deseret News should produce their own version of a film explaining the Meadows Massacre and these other actual events? I mean, this tragic event and the bloody coverup actually happened, not sure how to sugarcoat it.

Until September 1857, the Mormons had been the victims of violence more than its purveyors. That all changed with the darkest incident of the Mormon War, the atrocity known as the Mountain Meadows massacre.www.pbs.org
