Best mini - series on waco tragedy yet

Warning: Spoilers
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.
