The people who wrote this and signed off on it are counting on their viewers not to remember the hearings and the information that came out after the US government murdered a bunch of women and children. Watch "Waco Rules of Engagement" if you want to know what really happened. This show is pathetic propaganda and most people have no clue. So sad. In the Waco documentary "Rules of Engagement" you can actually watch video of special forces operatives rolling off the sides of the tanks and firing into the building at people who were trying to escape. It will blow your mind when you find out that CS gas destroys the lungs of children, and the US government new this. They new it was flammable, too. Bill Clinton signed off on the whole thing because he was the only one who could activate the Delta Force unit that was in Waco. This is all information that is easy to obtain due to it all coming out in the Waco hearings. But don't worry, the feds that carried out the operation felt bad, right? That is what the tv show says. They shed tears and felt guilt after the compound burned to the ground, right? Wrong! You can see the federal agents, who were portrayed in this film, posing with the charred remains of the compound like hunters after a kill. Just look at the google images. https://bit.ly/2Iknlrk

Very few people can really tell what really happened in the building of David Kores'h Branch Davidian.But what this mini series really tells is a story about the incompetence of ATF and FBI. It tells a story where it is not "victorious" who has the registry. Something the authorities have had after this incident. It shows that federal agencies like ATF and FBI have not learned from Ruby Ridge and other similar events.Fabulous actors, great director and good filming. And not least, a more nuanced angle on the story of what happened in Waco, Texas.

Only 6 episodes, but with excellent storytelling, great acting. I was thinking at start that there were news in that time about some religious cult in USA, which committed mass suicide, but did not think that this is about that event. It just did not look as that type of sect. I guess, this is not spoiler here, since outcome is well known, what differs is explanation of why it happened, and that's well visible by comments here too. I really don't want to go into who to blame, about Koresh's (alleged) child abusing and similar. He was presented as very disturbed, yet charismatic leader, pretty much insane. I seen Taylor Kitsch only in couple movies so far, and must say that I'm impressed with his performance in this. Other main actors were superb too. There were no needless moments, really. I guess that 6 episodes are right. Will watch this rather again after some time instead all non-imaginary new serials which dominate air this years. Even if this made me sad. Life tells best stories.

Simply outstanding! Great performances by everyone, with amazing directing, writing, ... everything. A must watch the ending will haunt you.
