I watched all six episodes in one day. Addictive is the word I would use. Plot development in each series is another level. It's realistic as heck, but the show itself does not have to have the documentary approach, pushing viewers to side with only one side. We get that the main villain in the story is ATF, but the show heroizes and almost idolizes David Koresh. I thought one of the writers should be a member of Branch Davidians. When Koresh talks on the phone with a gunshot wound, the light sheds his face from above like in religious paintings. In the last episode, he walks through the fire, almost symbolizing Jesus. So many scenes are over the line.
Let's get the facts straight. He married several young women including an underaged girl whom he gaslighted to believe that he is Messiah. Medical report later states that "twenty people, including five children under the age of 14, had been shot, and a three-year-old had been stabbed in the chest". Just tell it as it is. The director and writers clearly emphasize how stupid, irrational, violent, and unprofessional ATF and FBI were but downplay and omit aforementioned details. Do not dramatize or romanticize it. It ruins an already perfectly outstanding work.
