Following the struggles of Eddie Lane, a married man, who joins a religious movement, Meyerism, where he has doubts and struggles against making his right decision over that movement, the thing that brings terrible for him with his family.
While skepticism may rule at the start, it doesn't take long for the show to make one a believer in its own story, and in the power of its exceptional performances.
The Path is not a rollicking Scientology takedown but a more measured, slow-building dismantling of the insidious accommodations required to maintain absolute religious certainty.
The Path, whose first two episodes are tightly directed by Mike Cahill, is the second compelling original series in a row for Hulu after recently premiering 11.22.63.
Whatever its destiny, this welcome addition to Hulu's stable of original programming is a uniquely engrossing family drama, as distinguished by strong character-driven writing and a talented ensemble cast.
