Alicia I love this movie so much
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
smitten94 Some don't agree with the facts of this series but it is based on the books of 1 of the survivors ALONG WITH the book of the FBI negotiator who were BOTH on scene as advisors for the series. So with that said, this is THEIR story to tell and I'm glad they took the time to tell it together. This series humanizes the branch davidsons which is what I needed to better understand where they were coming from. Sure, they were considered a cult but they were also people who believed in a high power. Bottom line was, they needed David as much as he needed them. They found purpose in each other. This series shows the horrific mistakes made by ATF & FBI which were initially covered up. It shows how careless big brother can actually be. It shows how some ppl act when given too much power, on both sides. I am so glad I took the time to watch this series as it has brought a lot of unanswered questions to a close. But it was also a situation that could've been fully avoided. I've never agreed with some of the things that happened in that house but I definitely don't agree with what happened on the outside either. Great work Taylor Kitsch, Michael Shannon & Rory Culkin at portraying the parts of 3 of the most important people in this story.
john-s-camp The tragedy at Waco told from the perspective of survivors and negotiators. Scarier than the scariest horror story/movie.
Stoshie There are few shows on TV that are as captivating as this one. Most of us know generally what happened at Waco, but this 6-part series brings us much more of the human emotions and connections that few of us knew about, as well as how and why the standoff played out the way it did. I'm sure some of it was fictionalized for dramatic effect, but it is still very effective and absorbing. Even though we know the outcome, the mini-series keeps you on the edge of your seat. Each episode ends too soon, and I can't wait for the next one. I think the fact that this was taken from two books, one written by a survivor of Waco, and another by the lead FBI negotiator, adds a lot to the quality of this series, too.If you have on-demand, each episode is accompanied by a short documentary where we hear from the actual survivors of the incident, and the from the real FBI agents who were there. That adds even more to the story that is told.I hope this mini-series gets released on Blu-ray and/or DVD. It deserves to be available to a wider audience. It is available on Amazon streaming, for a price, but I would like to see it released on disk as well.
wildsparrow16 Every actor in this is incredible. The resemblance of Koresh to Kitsch is uncanny, even the voice. This man has many movies in his future, his acting is superb and the screen loves him. This movie seems pretty accurate so far, and it really delves into the human side of every single person involved. It is almost if there are multiple protagonists - the children, Koresh, the FBI negotiator who clearly wanted to end this with no violence, and the lost souls whom we only slowly get to know. There are no dull moments. I am loving this series so far....
