HBO Max’s Best New Show Has A Perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes Score
This three-part HBO documentary traces model Hoyt Richards' 15 years inside Eternal Values, a New Age cult run by self-proclaimed alien prophet Frederick von Mierers, who bled followers of millions before dying in 1990 while concealing his AIDS diagnosis. Because almost nothing exists online about the group or its leader, the series stands as the fullest account yet of the cult and its eventual collapse around 1999, tied partly to Richards' escape from its North Carolina compound. It's notable as HBO Max's best-reviewed current release, sitting at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes even while lower in the platform's viewership rankings than Euphoria and Hacks.
