Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

sjskplfld I had tons of fun watching this mini-series. Now first off, I realize that people take sides, some give 10/10 for re-humanizing the cult in some ways and some give 1/10 because they think it is an anti-government propaganda. I tried to stay neutral and review it as only a TV show.About the show, the acting is golden. It makes you feel like you were in the compound. The plot also keeps its historical accuracy and overall entertainment of a TV show except some small inaccuracies. Whether you like David Koresh or not, you can't justify this attack on other innocent men, women and children. And this TV show does an amazing job at re-humanizing these people who were demonized back then.

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.

neener3707 So I know I'm writing this a month after the show ended, but I just finished it, going into it seeing no trailers or clips, and I have to say, I was completely and utterly absorbed by this series, that kept me captivated from the first second to the last second. The story is so immensely deep and fascinating that I binged the show, finishing it in 2 days, I just couldn't stop watching this amazing tale of family, duty, and complete and utter screw-ups. First and foremost, the acting is superb in every way. Taylor Kitsch's performance as David Koresh is completely spell-binding and captivating, creating this sort of mesmerizing performance that I can only imagine was very similar to the way people were influenced by the real Koresh. Micheal Shannon as the lead FBI negotiator is another infinitely compelling character, a career driven man who believes he can effectively talk down the Branch Davidians, but can't due to seemingly insurmountable odds. Every one else is also so good, a fantastic cast that creates a unique world.The story is also extremely accurate, from the Branch Davidian's compound, to David Koresh's teachings, down to even the terrible noises the blasted at the group all day and night. The accuracy provides an interesting duality, on one hand you feel for both the Branch Davidians and the FBI, but at the same time you see what is inherently negative with each groups, perfectly portraying the situation as one where both sides made some seriously bad decisions and messed up. Thankfully the series didn't delve too deep into conspiracy theories, but it did blatantly show the mistakes that were made, painting a picture of the perfect storm that ended in tragedy. I thought it was interesting that the series begins with Ruby Ridge, kind of a foreshadowing of what was to come, mostly because the same FBI people are involved in both cases. And I'm also kind of glad they left Timothy McVeigh out of te story, that could have been in bad taste,Anyway, all in all it was a truly amazing series, I highly recommend it,

orionuer The first thing I learnt from WACO is that the American FBI are evil, kidding, but seriously, as a non-American I was shook by their portrayal if the accounts of the mini-series are true. I have never understood the dynamics of a cult. I come from a third-world country, and I can understand that circumstances can lead anyone to the extremes. But joining a cult just seems extreme to me and nonsensical. What did David have on these people to make them join his cult? The men, why follow a leader who except for himself expects all men to stay celibate? Let us not even go into the pedophilia, case in point his youngest wife whose father was also a member of the cult. How does that happen?Also, how do these people make their money, I did see a scene with a Davidian member driving a taxi, but such earnings would not be enough to sustain a cult of over 100 members. Those poor ladies, imagine cooking and cleaning for such a huge group of people.If Americans can gas their own people, I pity foreigners who get themselves in trouble with the law there. Anyway I did enjoy the mini-series, it left me asking a lot of questions which is one of the ways I usually determine the enjoyability of anything I watch.
