Every self-respecting Oregonian is going to want to take a look at Wild Wild Country. The six-part Netflix documentary series, which premieres Fri March 16, examines one of the weirdest episodes in the state’s history, when Indian religious leader Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh opened a commune in central Oregon in the early 1980s. It did not end well.
For longtime residents, it’s a familiar and painful story, one in which the Rajneeshees took over the government of the nearby town of Antelope and attempted to gain control of Wasco County.
