January 18, 20188 yr This is a six part mini-series begins on Wednesday, January 24th on the Paramount Network, formally known as Spike TV. Starring Taylor Kitsch as David Koresh. I'm really looking forward to checking this one out.
January 25, 20188 yr Just a few minutes in but it looks like this may be sympathetic to Koresh. ATF/FBI being shown in bad light pretty early on.

They took a nice angle with the portrayal of Koresh as well as the ATF/FBI's role in the ordeal. I really enjoyed the first episode and I'm looking forward to where they'll take this story.

I was curious what they were doing with the guy in Minnesota. I wasn't old enough to really know anything about Waco when it happened, so I didn't see the connection. But it totally makes sense why they included it and where they are taking that angle. Taylor Kitsch is great in this.
February 2, 20188 yr This has been a great show. In the second episode, I thought they did a good job of showing Koresh's controlling side. After 2 episodes, I'm a little surprised that the enemy is at the gates already. The next 4 chapters should be great.

February 10, 20188 yr Author Week 3 was another great episode. Felt bad for John Leguizamo's character.
February 11, 20188 yr With the Winter Olympics causing most networks not to show original programming the whole month of February, Waco is the only game in town and has been very good. Kinda wish this would have been a Netflix show so could have streamed it in a day or two. Taylor Kitsch very underrated actor in Hollywood, even before this
February 11, 20188 yr Author Taylor Kitsch very underrated actor in Hollywood, even before this Huge fan. Probably his best work.
February 24, 20188 yr I've now seen four episodes and I'm impressed. Rig was a tough nut on the field and showed toughness after taking that slug to the gut. Edited March 21, 20188 yr by True blue (and gold)
February 26, 20188 yr It's been very well done. It would be cool if the same people would make a Jim Jones series.
March 1, 20188 yr This was a great series and I can't recommend it enough. The scenes from the government assault were riveting. How they could declare they weren't assaulting the compound when they clearly were is beyond me. Now that the series is over, I'm going to research the heck out of this saga because the "he said, she said" of the whole thing is very intriguing.
