The documentary was biased. Every segment dredged up polygamy. Why Joseph Smith was given directed to practice this escapes mortal understanding. Next time PBS interviews the Lord, they could ask him/if they dared.

Some elements were fairly accurate/others demonstrated lack of doctrinal understanding. — no name

IT WAS AN UNFAVORABLE REPORTING OF THE CHURCH AND WILL SURELY PERPETUATE MYTHS ABOUT POLYGAMY AS A CURRENT PRACTICE. PBS HAS LOST MY DONOR SUBSCRIPTION. — no name

Most Mormon families don't home school, and don't have eleven children. — no name

As a Latter Day Saint watching "The Mormons" I came away with mixed emotions. Appreciation for the exposure of some gospel truths and the early struggles of the saints. Offended at the exposure of temple rites held sacred and which members only understand symbolically. Missing was the excommunicated member who has been loved back into the gospel and his or her feelings about church courts. The shock was the portrayal of a completely foreign Angel Moroni in red, looking evil. Joseph Smith's account clearly describes the Angel Moroni, radiant and in white. — Janet Dickson, Arizona

I refused to watch it. Every "documentary" is simply a commentary from the producers' point of view. Even so-called history program are tainted with an agenda. History is written by the victors, and so far, in the physical history of the Mormon people, the victors are still writing the history. — Brian Boyd, Morristown, TN

SINCE I DON'T LIVE IN UTAH, THE COMMENTS BY THE VARIOUS EXPERTS ON SCREEN SEEMED TO BE CALCULATED TO LEAVE TWO VERY DIFFERENT IMPRESSIONS ON THE TOPICS PRESENTED. — DR.DON LINDLEY, MANHATTAN ,KS.

While it was intriguing to watch, it was also bothersome. They focused on a lot of negative stories in church history as well as current day issues. The people they interviewed had been excommunicated, how is that not a slanted story? And the families they choose to highlight are not the typical LDS family. No most families do not have 11 children, and no most families do not get their family portrait taken as if they are in heaven. Going into such detail about Mitt Romney being a part of our faith and placing our faith in such a strange way could not have helped his campaign. I thought that the most common questions about our faith still went unanswered. — no name
