Pure. (http://www.cbc.ca/mediacentre/program/pure)

Watched episode one and was totally amazed. Dark and suspenseful and well acted.

Mennonite Mobsters?!!

The Mennonite Mob is a real thing. I laughed the first time I heard it too.

Very cool. That is my background when my family came to Canada from Germany so I'm really interested in checking this out. Thanks for posting Dave!

CBC's "The Fifth Estate" has a 25 minute documentary called The Mennonite Mob.

Pure is decent, Mormons have a history as well as well. Love most everything VICE has produced:

Gave this a shot, usually get good steers from Beyond on tv shows.

I was enjoying it, about average I'd say, up until the end of the 3rd episode, where the last 10 seconds were a serious holy shit moment, and did NOT see that coming. Really liking it now, great production for a CBC program - for once.

Couldn't find it on Neflix, haven't got Crave, I just used Kodi/Exodus.

The ones I know personally always have money, and are constantly travelling to south america and around different parts of north america to 'see family'. But they dont curse, drink, or even listen to a radio. If they get in your vehicle they turn the radio down and down as you talk, acting like you wont notice them doing it. They do have cell phones however, and have to go to an elders place to use a computer, I know they use kijiji.
