It's a descent production by hbo and the narrated archive footage from Vincente and his cronies.
But the show is too slow paced like one of their overpriced brainwashing cult workshops. Mostly due to the one episode a week release format hbo utilizes, as opposed to releasing the whole show at once format netflix utilizes. Which can give slower paced shows a somewhat faster pace because you can stay submerged into the show and story line. Every time you get drawn a bit into the vow it ends on some cliff hanger and you have to wait another week to get submerged into the story line again. If it was a faster paced show it would be less of an issue but this show is made mind numbing boring like the nxivm striped sashes workshops, the interactions in the vow are mostly superficial while it's stuffed with fillers and only gets going towards the end of the episodes. Which is when the episode ends and you have to wait for another week to get into it again. The vow itself is a dangling carrot like the nxivm cult stripe path workshop where you get one integrating revelation for every 99% bs you sit through. Wild wild country offers a better insight into cult life and has a better cult soundtrack. These people are indeed kind of special but not from a breed they think they are but a special kind of fools flocking together to fawn over one shoddy perverted fool.
And by the way the vow producers want you to know nxivm is NOT a sex cult if you didn't already know that, it is a multi level marketing pyramid scheme cult.
