mocramer715-633-642212 Amazingly done. Great acting, well produced, emotional. I was very young when this happened. Watching this account was incredibly educational. I look forward to watching the documentary from Paramount online.
TravLehn There is only one "problem" with this mini series and im going to start with that so its out of the way.. The problem is i think some viewers will interpret that this show is trying to defend david koresh and his actions... I dont believe this is the case i think by showing a more sane/normal viewpoint of david in the earlier episodes is just trying to humanize his character for the audience. The producers of this series want us, the viewers, to understand the point of view of the victims of waco. The point of view of david thibodeau (in my opinion). Because im assuming the point of view from thibodeau was that koresh was a decent man and "messiah". People who are in a cult are brainwashed and follow whatever the leader says no matter how ridiculous. A lot of the bad reviews on this site complain about how there is an agenda with this show to somehow normalize domestic assault and paint a picture of david koresh as some martyr..But personally i do not believe that was the case based on the previous paragraph. But after about episode 2 we start to see the true facts of the horrible heinous crimes that occurred at the mount carmel center. Episode 3 and episode 6 are pure television gold. If you weren't around back then to witness this atrocity this show will put you in a time machine back to february 28th, 1993. I rarely get emotional when watching a series such as this based on true crime ***SPOILER*** but when melissa benoist's character is stuck under the bus and shea whigham's character cannot get her out...that has got to be one of the saddest/darkest moments i have ever seen on television (especially for a basic cable series). This is a must see mini-series its more than worth the 5+ hours by a long shot.
janalleycat I absolutely loved this documentary. This isn't what was portrayed to Americans at all. Our stupid government killed these people. 25 children and got off scott free by lying. I am so saddened that these people were treated this way. David Koresh was extravagant but didn't deserve this. The actor who played him was phenomenal.
tyler306 Seen it when it happened in real time..Just another cult story.. Was a big deal then, now its no big deal...
