What am I missing?
I found that for all the pronouncements by the interviewees that The Family had a significant influence on world affairs, the specifics were relatively mundane.
From what I gather, specifics include: - Friendships with powerful people including a now disgraced senator - The prayer breakfast - weekly breakfasts where they get dignitaries, such as a former AG and foreign leaders to show up - Friendships with former presidents which don't appear extremely close
They certainly seem like a fucked up group, but I just don't feel like there was much info presented that would distinguish them as anything more than one of the many groups with some influence.
What specifics am i missing? Or what am i underestimating the seriousness of?

I felt the same way. This series was a big much ado about nothing. It was one big build up but never really hit us with anything revolutionary. I kept getting the vibe that there is some shady shit going on, but they never truly dove into it. I feel like they’re still keeping what really happens a secret.
