Praise the Lord is a fascinating dive into the world of televangelism, particularly the rise and fall of Jim and Tammy Bakker. The documentary's tone is both investigative and reflective, exposing not just the glamour but the underlying corruption of their empire. The pacing keeps you engaged as it jumps between interviews, archival footage, and the media frenzy surrounding their scandals. What sets it apart is its unflinching look at the moral complexities of faith, profit, and trust. There's a rawness to the performances of those involved, and the practical effects are minimal, but the real drama is in the stories told. It gives you a sense of the era and the cultural impact of these figures in American religion.
