If you haven't heard of Netflix's Wild Wild Country, quite frankly, where have you been?

Since its worldwide release on 16 March, the cult docu-series has gained global attention. The series tells the story of 'religious guru' Baghwan Shree Rajneesh and the founding of the group's 'utopian city', Rajneeshpuram, in rural Oregon.

But when residents of neighbouring Antelope, Oregon, find out about Rajneesh's cult-ranch, they take matters into their own hands to get them evicted. What follows is a battle full of twists and turns, and an insight into how far people will go (specifically one of Rajneesh's followers, Ma Anand Sheela) to protect what they believe in.

What's interesting about Wild Wild Country is that it's unclear whose side you're supposed to take, and most viewers have differing opinions.
