We recently watched a really good 2022 miniseries on the subject. The 7-episode series, called Under the Banner of Heaven is based on the true story of a 1984 crime spree committed in the safe and religious LDS haven of SLC, Utah.
The story covers a devout Mormon detective's investigation into a ghastly murder and his discovery of back-room secrets and cover-ups in his beloved church and the involvement of some of its most respected and prominent members.
The detective's unwavering commitment to his "Heavenly Father' becomes tested when he realizes his lifetime worship of a religion and teachings is based on a lie. His church elders reveal their quest for power, control and sexual promiscuity cloaked in the name of piousness and the requirement of the LDS wives to be completely subservient and obedient to any demand put upon them by the men of their church.
I agree.

I recommend watching it.
