The amount of speculation in this mini series is alarming. But, it would be impossible to tell this story without at least some bias. This show, without a doubt is skewed to look favorable on Koresh, a known child predator. A man surrounded by devotees that allowed his disgusting and vile treatment of girls.
However, that does not excuse the FBI and ATF of their actions, the deaths of 76 people was avoidable. The militarization of our LEO community, on every level, is a national disgrace, and for the most part all started with Waco. The actions of the FBI, how they handle this tragedy, also led to the radicalization of many, and ultimately the OKC bombings.
The series was fine, it was a good watch. Some of the production wasn't so hot, but the acting was great and the writing was fine. Again, my main issue was the amount of conjecture, and the complete avoidance of Koresh and his pedophilia.
