In the final episode of season 5 of Breaking Bad, also the final episode of that series, Jesse Pinkman is freed from Jack's white supremacist gang and forced meth cooking. He is also freed from Walter White whose Gatling gun mounted in the trunk of an old Cadillac not only mows down Jack's gang, but White as well. Some of the exit Mormon stories I've read or heard sound almost as liberating, if not as violent and brutal.
Now, six years later we are to be treated by Netflix to a movie of what Pinkman does next. The trailers suggest that revenge is the order of the day for Pinkman. Some of those fresh on the heels of their extraction from the Mormon church's clutches seem to have revenge on their minds as they post on the ex-mo reddit and elsewhere. It's an interesting parallel. I look forward to the upcoming movie to see if Pinkman gets satisfaction from the revenge he exacts.

El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie
"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." Isaac Asimov
