Did you know
- TriviaRevelations of Waco (2018) is a companion documentary series released exclusively on the Paramount Network website and YouTube channel following the initial airing of each episode of the miniseries. The series reveals the true to life details of the Waco siege through interviews with those on both sides of the conflict. Each episode runs between nine and thirteen minutes in length.
- GoofsThe military vehicles are older models than those used in the actual siege. This was likely done because the U.S. military would not participate in filming, so the filmmakers had to rely on private collections.
- Quotes
[from trailer]
David Koresh: You've looked to me to be your leader. To guide you on this journey. But I'm no leader. I'm a follower, just like you. God has instructed me to stay here and wait for His sign. This is our time to prove through suffering that we are worthy of the miracle that's to come. The Kingdom of Heaven is coming, I promise you.
- Crazy creditsSPOILER: EPILOGUE: "The FBI denied using incendiary devices that could have ignited a fire. They claimed the Branch Davidians intentionally started the fire in an apparent mass suicide."

"Surviving Branch Davidians maintained that there was never a plan for mass suicide."
"FBI negotiators successfully secured the release of 35 Branch Davidians during the siege."
"As a result of the tragedy in Waco, 76 Branch Davidians died in the fire."
"25 of them were children."
Featured review
I must admit, I knew very a little about this Waco incident before seeing this. This story really points to the ATF and FBI really being the bad guys well more bullies than bad guys. I dunno how much is true but it certainly seems that way based on this portrayal. I was hooked from the start, The acting is amazing and so it the screen play. There are 6 episodes all an hour each and the felt like 5 mins each. I would recommend this mini-series to anyone.
