This was a good documentary that presented a story that was beyond belief. Based on the three Episodes, a number of Adults were convicted of serious crimes due to what was presented as what possibly was the fake and coerced testimony of children.

The Documentary did a good job of presenting the background of the incident and interviewing many of the people involved. They all came across as credible and believable.

While it seems more than likely the accused criminal acts did not take place, it would have been a stronger story if they had:

• Interviewed someone from the Prosecutors Office, who still believed in the convictions (if any)
• explained why the older daughter still stood by her original testimony / accusations and explained whether she had reconciled with her parents and siblings
• explained why only one of the Foster Mother's huge number of foster children, in addition to the two in the documentary, accused her and her husband of abuse.

Even with the questions, the Documentary provides an eye-opening insight into small town / backwoods "Just Us" vs Justice......

How to Create a Sex Scandal (2023) is a rollercoaster of a documentary that left me equal parts shocked and entertained. Who would have thought that the sleepy town of Mineola, Texas, could be the setting for such a jaw-dropping story? The film's plot unfolds like a true crime mystery, complete with more twists than a pretzel factory. You'll be on the edge of your seat, trying to piece together this scandalous puzzle.

The cast of characters in this real-life drama is so bizarre that you'll think the filmmakers must have created them themselves. It's like a bizarre mashup of a soap opera and a crime thriller, with moments that will make you gasp and laugh in disbelief. How to Create a Sex Scandal had me questioning everything I thought I knew about small-town America, and it's an unforgettable ride that you won't want to miss. Give it four stars and prepare to be utterly captivated by this stranger-than-fiction tale!
