The Path on Hulu

If you are ready for another cult series, Hulu is bringing you The Path, a new series starting tonight with Aaron Paul from Breaking Bad, Michelle Monaghan from True Detective, and Hugh Dancy from Hannibal.  

Here are the basics from Hulu: 

We all want to believe in something, but to what lengths will we go to find meaning? The Path explores the unknown and mysterious world of the cult-like Meyerist Movement in upstate New York. At the center of the movement lies Eddie (Aaron Paul), a conflicted husband; Sarah (Michelle Monaghan), his devoted wife; and Cal (Hugh Dancy), an ambitious leader. We follow each as they contend with deep issues involving relationships, faith, and power. The series takes an in-depth look at the gravitational pull of belief and what it means to choose between the life we live and the life we want.

A New York cult, they say? Maybe it will be as scary as the cult surrounding another New Yorker running for president based on fiction rather than fact. The difference here is also the life we live and the life we want (or think we want), yet it is such rhetoric and lopsided thinking that has steered us towards depression, war, and worst in the past. 

Anyway, you have seen enough political promises. Here is a trailer from the new series showing more promises and the dark results. It looks terrifying. 

I tired of the bleakness in HBO' The Leftovers, which had plenty of scary followers of outlandish ideas. I am hoping this latest iteration is more watchable. 

As for the presidential race, that too is unwatchable at this point.
