Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
ESCAPING TWIN FLAMES follows various survivors of Twin Flames University, an online cult led by Jeff and Shaleia Ayan. When down on their luck, people would come across ads for Twin Flames, and join their classes. There, members would share about their missing "twin flames" and get coaching on how to get them back. But what started as a quest for love slowly turned into a manipulative scheme that revealed the couple's true intentions. Members lonely in love suddenly found themselves isolated -- in their relationships, from their families, and within themselves.
Is It Any Good?
This series distinguishes itself in the details. Escaping Twin Flames is slow-paced, thorough, and transparent. The former members and families being vulnerable with their experiences is refreshing. Viewers will either be captivated by the thoroughness of the series, or they could get lost in it. The language and sexual content make this more suitable for older teens.
