The actor playing David is INCREDIBLE!!!! First episode was Amazing... Simply amazing...I know what I'm doing the next 5 Wednesday's
Shsdeau Perez taylor kitsch teally underated! He was in john carter battleship gambit in wolverine etc
@@emyf9197 And Lone Survivor
That's Tim Riggins....Texas Forever!
After high school: Tim Riggins, really got into the Bible.
Thats Riggins from Friday Night Lights!
Who else is here after the Netflix streaming ⁉️📺
Yo. Just finished the second episode.. trying not to binge it. I love how they rehumanized the Davidians, as the EP said, and how they based it off of both Thibodeau’s and Noesner’s books, so you really get a good look from both sides.
Most other comments seem to be from after the original airing, so I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who’s just now getting sucked in by this show hahah
your emoji are huge.
Waco shows how a big government can absolutely destroy a society that functions against the standard ideal.
What impressed me is the way Paramount was able to tell both sides of the story with respect to the motivations of each player. This was not a black and white event. They even included Ruby Ridge.
Taylor Kitsch was phenomenal; what a challenging character to play. I knew how it was going to end but it still put tears in my eyes.
Most of this show was complete BS that portrayed a pedophile cult leader as "misunderstood". Especially the end, there was clear evidence as outlined in the DOJ report indicating the Davidians set those fires, including recordings of them talking about spreading and lighting two canisters of gas. The FBI and ATF certainly fucked up but this show portrayed them as monsters.
@@TheOneManWhoBeatYou they didn't show any of that evidence you listed in the show. And they are monsters; forget about Koresh, what about all the innocent people that they killed?
@@sam8404 Yes they didn't show any of that evidence in the show that's my point they skewed the facts to make Koresh and the Davidians look good.
@@TheOneManWhoBeatYou could've made that clearer, your original comment reads as if they showed evidence at the end.
@John Wang I don't think they all deserved to be burned alive for that. That's a little excessive.
Taylor has grown so much as an actor. He brings so many layers to every part he plays. All the best to him and everyone else involved with this major achievement.
Don't forget, though, that Gary, the FBI negotiator was a silenced minority, and was a good guy on the other side.
Try this: Though, don’t forget that Gary, the FBI negotiator, was a silenced minority and a good guy on the other side.
@@rtahbaz I don't get how we're not saying the same thing. Anyhow, glad we agree on that fact.
hrdknox2000 this is exactly what I’m saying there are no “good guys” this is an incredibly complex issue with fault on both sides so there should be no good guys or bad guys necessarily, this show portrayed the Dividians in too bright of a light while making the government seem like they were bumbling idiots and ignoring the many faults of the dividians
@@rtahbaz really dude?
Exactly, and I see people picking sides in this situation and I’m like ‘people, you don’t have to pick a side here. Both parties did screwed up things and I’m not about to defend either one.’
I will say the fact that I’m a Christian and David Koresh was claiming to be Jesus Christ really didn’t help his case with me.
The ending, where David Thibodeau visited Mount Carmel, very powerful, I have tears in my eyes thinking about that scene. May all the Branch Davidians, who died on February 28 and April 19 1993, may their souls Rest In Peace.
Edmond Ko also when he was released from jail it wasnt his wife and child who loved him waiting, but his neglectful ignorant mother.
The actor playing David almost looks like Tom Brady.
yeah if tom brady ands james franco had a baby
Taylor Kitsch
Yep
Incredible casting with Taylor kitsch
Kitsch is killing it! the rest of the cast is killing it, especially the Boardwalk Empire alumni.
I loved this. They hit the nail in the head! I liked how they did tell both sides . Also I learned alot from it , I had no idea they had used that type of gas before , or also that there was 1 FBI guy who wanted to do things the right way.
The FBI guy in the series was based on a real negotiator but there were several others that spoke to the Davidians and were of similar mindsets
They're not "telling both sides," the movie is based on a book written by a cult member. It was his side only. And the negotiator is a sympathetic character because David kind of got along with him, so the cult members saw him as sort of an ok guy.
@@Preservestlandry Ahh yes, the Waco survivor surely included hours worth of scenes devoted to law enforcement deliberating on what to do with the Davidians in his book. He must've had some sort of superpower that allowed him to "sense" their disagreements.
I'm so happy they made this. Shows how fucked up the government is. It's all about control to them.
Ever since this happened I still to this very day will not fly an American flag
straygypsy I still will
I will 🇺🇸
Though i think the fbi should have been held accountable and people put in jail, i still fly my flag. WHY? Cause that flag represents then men and women that fought and died for out freedoms. It doesnt stand for the fbi.
I will 🇺🇸
Then go live in North Korea.
The flag isn’t a representation of the actions of everyone in the country, it’s symbolizes what the country stands for, and to say the actions of the government agents are what the flag stands for is very dumb. Sorry to say but your view is a different side of the same coin of Colin Kaepernic.
Watched it all yesterday in one sitting. I was 12 when it happened so I remember little things. Wow. Just wow the whole cast and crew great job.
This mini series was amazing!!!!!
I'm convinced Taylor Kitsch is David Koresh.
It's hard to imagine anyone doing a better job.
I still blame the ATF
It wouldn't be the last time their incompetence cost peoples' lives. Though, I'm pretty sure the FBI took control from them. So while the blame for the first shootout is definitely on the ATF, the FBI caused the rest to be a shit show.
Only in america can a guy who did a Jonestown repeat, be considered the hero a couple decades later.
@Jure Sah: I'm not sure how anyone can call him a hero, considering how he condemned his followers to a blazing death. He could have done the right thing and gave himself up, resulting in the survival of his people. But he was selfish and cruel. Any leader that uses his people as a shield is a monster and a coward.
I think one of the reasons if feels like they humanized more of the davidians than the ATF is because ATF soldiers all weared masks balaclava, to the enemy (davidians) they had no face, no identity in them just soldiers, versus a griup of church members, everyday people, with kids and elderly amongst them, thats what makes its so powerful, the ATF a greater force versus the davidians smallers force, and in the end evil prevails
Great series, definitely gave me a different outlook on the whole situation. 😎
I'm excited and eager to see this.
Viviana we finally get both sides of everything
Me too!
bullshit you are. there aren't two sides !!! there are 100s and you don't care
I don’t think I’ve ever cried to hard in a mini series, I live 1 hour away from Waco and it’s crazy to think all this went down there 😱🤯
haha Imagine this story eclipsing your own experience and making everyone call you a liar because this story fails to mention key instances of what really led to the attitudes and characteristics my father possessed. Imagine then trying to share details and everyone saying I am a liar. Existence is a fucking joke.
This was a massacre
So essentially its a movie about Zod trying to destroy Supergirl and Gambit who got together and started a religion, cool
I work with someone who had met David Koresh back in the day its crazy how that all happened.
no you didn't
I just binge watched the whole show. Taylor Kitsch was amazing. I'm also a BC boy from just up the road from where he's from and he's lived a tough life with many similarities to mine. He did great. I remember this Waco thing as a kid as like the first news event on tv before Tupac got shot and 9/11. I think what the government did there is really messed up but if you watch the end of the last episode they talk about how many times the authorities used tear gas and how it ended in fire and deaths. It's sad that a government agency who should be protecting life is so willing to take it and how they twist facts and lie to make people be on their side. That's a failure to everyone and disgusting and makes me question so many things our governments do. A lot of it is malicious and that's sad.
Now they don't even try to cover up their crimes. Obey or they will find or plant to "legally" crucify you.
How the hell is this only 1 million views but only 3 comments.
Tekkenking789, because they probably forgot to leave a comment below.
Tekkenking789 BC it was posted today and its not even 5pm Eastern time, meaning a whole bunch of kids who don't know what this is about just watched it BC its the first thing listed on the tube homepage. Also, Benny Blanco!
Tekkenking789 I also think it's maybe a good thing, ppl have no comment yet BC they wanna see what's what first. What would ppl say anyway?
This was played as an ad that is why it has a lot of views with few comments.
I think.
+Tekkenking789 we were waiting on you.
Taylor Kitsch will be for me always Mr. ACTOR since this series. Phenomenal acting.
The ATF and their black hooded troopers vs Lawful Americans
James M if they were lawful, then why did ATF show up to begin with?
@@batalorian7997 it was about the ATF wanting a big win so they would increase the budget
@@gaguy1967 then they wouldn't need to bother with lawful citizens in front of the news media
Damn, Thibodeau really went downhill... And it's understandable why he did it's so sad...
Survivor's guilt and mourning. When I lost my infant son, food was one of my outlets. I've gained 20 pounds and it shows. It's only been a year and a half. This was such a big event for this man. I don't blame him at all.
They Branch Dividian did not one thing wrong,The Talaterian Government of ours did,as the did Ruby Ridge,an killed the Rancher n the North West
Suprised this didn't get squashed or at least resistance ..
The actor that played David Koresh was really good!! Almost sounded exactly like the real David Koresh.
I have a small handful of friends who survived this. One of them has watched the miniseries and said "The actor that played David... Did a wonderful job! Was a little bit creepy that he was so close! I loved seeing their effort to depict the property well... Brought back alot of memories." Edited slightly for spelling mistakes, when I asked him what he thought about it
Wow I just had my eyes opened to the truth. Great actors accept for the David thibodeau actor. Watch real interviews about him and the actor is nothing like the real one. Other than that. Great series
Jeff & Cody Snodgres - Pt 2 - Waco, Janet Reno, The Clintons, Benghazi & More
After it was talking about all the incidents with tear gas causing fires with the sad piano over it is probably the most I’ve cried in years
Remeber, the federal goverment would have been alot of trouble, if David was walking around 3 DAYS LATER
Keith Cavanaugh Original😂 I like
Amazing and sad show
Sad is understatement
Taylir Kitsch was honestly so good in the serie 👍🏻👍🏻
Love Michael Shannon...
I remember watching this whole event go down on TV and nothing the reporter's or news papers said about what this man was doing persuaded me that he was a criminal. I don't know what the state of Texas had to prove, they only succeeded at manning this whole event a tragedy.
Battosai Jenkins No one is a saint and consider your sources from which your referencing from bro then think analytically. If your mind still leads you to believe your statements then cool.
@Derrick Mitchel, Google is your friend and I'm sorry but facts don't lie. A pedofile is and always will be a criminal. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that. And if the Government needs to interfere with crazy cults stockpiling weapons and breaking all sorts of laws then so be it, thank you~
You mean like the pedophiles in the upper echelons of our government ???
Derrick Mitchell the guy had automatic weapons...and a ton of them. That is extremely illegal. The guy was charismatic, but he was still doing things illegally
Battosai Jenkins A pedophile? You mean Polygimist, and there is a big difference. David K was never found guilty of child abuse, especially pedophilia. Get your facts straight.
so hyped!
misternintendoking - if you aren't mature enough to see the importance of such a major series, then don't comment.
ummm... you do realize you're on youtube right? This is a public forum where anyone can say anything they want, even if its stupid or wrong.... wait... ESPECIALLY if its stupid or wrong. You should do a little self reflection on why you're here.
Alrighty Then - ummm... Then I have every right to be here to give my own opinion on the stupidity of others, you arrogant, sanctimonious twit.
Your not gonna find the truth by watching this
Good entertainment though.
You will get a lot closer to the truth watching this than the manufactured bs fed to us by the government and media.
Tim Riggins
I also am a David, and i also hate the feds.
Finally,something to address that tragedy.Hope they do justice to the ones who deserve it.
I don't even know what to say anymore. I am so frustrated with this appeal to mythology and how it destroys the others thibs becomes an apologist for. He is sharing HIS experience and it is not only biased but DRAMATIZED.
he wasn't there when my father was beating us... he wasn't there in the beginning. I am fucking sick of everyone else's shit making my feeble attempts to simply recognize someone who he knew little better beyond the spectacle than the FBI. It has set back actual justice because everyone gawks and cries and then tells me I am not who I am. I really fucking resent this.
So excited for this!!!
Don't get too excited.
You better have one of the 'supported' internet providers Paramount approves.
Big Steve What do you mean?
Victoria Lou D - yeah. He may be right. I've been looking on Sky and I don't know if I have the Paramount channel. So annoying.
Judi O'Regan Oh great! I don't even have sky or anything. But I do have KODI so may be able to find it on there.
Victoria Lou D - all the best sweetie! I could not be more gutted about this! :(
What channel did this originally air on because I do not recall every hearing about it until I saw Netflix.
Paramount Network
Paramount Network (Originally Spike)
Then we need the sequel
“Waco aftermath what happened to Vince Foster?”
Damn it isn’t on Netflix Australia😢
thnks
You want to call government but when they outside of your house who else you call? With that many people dying I think someone need to pay the prize
You come out with your hands up and don't wait for "a sign from God"?
D2 napo hehhehe thank you
When I told my wife about David Koresh's attitudes about sex, without hesitation, she said he was an asshole.

To the government "reasoning" translates to this guy is not going to obey us and do as told.
what channel was this on?
Will you just release this already?
4 weeks into the show so episode 4 is out
ATF agents die, God laughs!
Put this show on at 6:00 pm
yeah I didn't know this
I end joy watching this 👍
oregon map rainbow six siege
This looks fantastic! I just hope it doesn't turn out to be a total letdown.
hrdknox2000 this is a true story where men, women and children were slaughtered. Not a story created for our entertainment
@@cordybluejeans I think you misunderstood my point. My point is that I'm in agreement with you! I just hope they do it RIGHT, make it speak the truth to the HEARTS of the audience.
hrdknox2000 Sorry, I had just finished the last episode of Waco and remain very upset over what had happened there. What the FBI and ATF did was unforgivable.
@@cordybluejeans I finished the whole miniseries in two days! It really captured but the good will as well as the poor judgement on both sides of the war between the Branch Davidians and U.S. Gov't. "Alphabet Soup Groups".

Netflix is full of shit

WTF !!!!!
Paramount doesn't support Comcast internet?!!
this show, especially the last two episodes left me visibly shaken. I wanted to believe that this story was just one of pure imagination.
Who is the culprits here? Who started that shit messed and chaos out there..who's to blame ?
please tell me i’m not the only one who thinks drew dowble looks like channing tatum
Took me only 2 days to watch. It's a fantastic production
Baby Jessica was the begging of 24 hrs news cycle.
Unfortunately this movie is not a completely accurate portrayal of what happened. The acting was excellent. But it was not completely accurate. And it portrays itself as being completely accurate. I despise these movies that portray themselves as true renditions of something but that are not.
He played David better then David.
Two questions:
1) Why ATF had to bring in gun-totting SWAT assault team in the first place? Are they such cowards that they need big machine gun all the time just to feel safe?
2) Why do this church in the middle of the dessert need to have so many guns? Are they fending off waves of invisible zombies that we do not know off?
In the end, I think the problem lies with the toxic gun culture in US, everyone believes that guns is the solution, that's so dumb. In fact, if ATF would've just sent some agents to knock on their door and talk, the tragedy could have been avoided.
The answer to your first question: Because our government and police are corrupt power hungry assholes who think everyone must submit to their commands....no matter how ridiculous those demands are.
Second question: They sold those guns at gun shows....there were many mouths to feed in that compound....selling guns was one of the chief ways they supported themselves.
Woah, I didn't know that the Branch Davidian are gun sellers. That is certainly something not mentioned in the series. On the other hand, I think the demilitarization of law enforcement agency is something all American should consider.
They sold guns, but it was all legal.
That's a culture shock to me. Churches in my country has a way different outlook on guns. Now I am really intrigued.
what country are you from?
Crazy thing is that it didn't happen in Waco
Ikr my teacher told us this because she lived in Waco for a year
But why did Koresh have fire arms in there? I thought he was a man of god. you can’t undo violence with violence.
Bro they literally believed the end of the world was coming. Come on now use your head. Thats why they stocked the weapons. Still not a good thing imo. But when you look at it that way you realize they had no intentions to use those and only use them then. Left to their own devices i believe they would of just never been heard of. But still lil kids were being molested. Idk man its fucked on both sides
Triggered Libtard
They had guns because they would often buy them or buy parts of them to assemble, then sell them at gun shows or to people who just wanted a gun. In America and especially in Texas owning any amount of firearms is completely legal, the only reason the ATF raided them was because of a suspicion that they were modifying some guns to be fully automatic, which is illegal unless they had paid a 25$ fee. Also several dummy grenades were found in some mail sent to them, but gun shows often sell those as knick-knacks or paperweights.
So sad
I wonder why Koresh and his 2nd in command were at a friend's house (my friend) seeking to find ways to "specialize" their weapons long before the showdown occurred? Yes, I'm talking about suppressors and full auto modifications. My friend has quite a reputation in certain circles (good and not so good) as one of the most innovative and excellent at what he used to do as a business. Why would Koresh want those types of weapon upgrades? Wasn't it enough to have a large cache of weapons for "protection"? Did he deem a large scale showdown inevitable as far back as the very early 90's when he approached my friend? Did he/they want to inflict as many casualties as possible with fully automatic and/or suppressed weapons? I get the interpretation of an eye for an eye and persecution and all those arguments, but isn't the overall and overriding tenet of the Christian faith love, forgiveness, and understanding? I just don't get it. Anyway, although he could have been a multi-millionaire several times over from selling to people he should not have, my friend turned Koresh down flat, as he did with every private citizen who tried to lure him into creating or modifying specialized weapons for them, which is why my friend is still in good standing to this day with the ATF, Texas Law Enforcement, and certain military Special Forces (yes - his stuff was/is THAT good). And I quote "There are too many crazy people out there. I never sold to the general public." End quote. His son, who was home at the time of the surprise visit, told me that he got a very uneasy feeling from the way Koresh was answering their initial questions (evasively), and they quickly ended up telling them to get out and to not return (with far less kind phrasing). I wonder if Mr. Thibodeau knew about that little visit. Maybe Mr. Thibodeau was with them in the car and would like to comment? Koresh knew the MINUTE he was apprehended he was looking at a whole lotta charges of sleeping with a whole lotta underage girls, plain and simple. You can paint it however you want it - he was just another sad loser who was able to influence a small group of people and they paid the price for it in pain, as is always the case with these groups. Four sides to every story! Just sayin...
He's "relatable". How would he know? Did he ever meet him?
Who plays Janet Reno? Same HRT murdered LaVoy Finnicum, grandfather of 19!!!
Is that Tom Brady in the thumbnail?
Do you get it?WACO stands for wake up call!
Government: Believe in God and if you do, vote for us to give you the freedom to believe what you want and how you want.
Also government: Only believe what we tell you and how we tell you to believe that.
EVERYONE here should watch ALL the full versions of the survivors of waco, this video is a GIANT TV LIE
I started watching Waco. I'm on episode 3 and I had to stop. My brain tends to over think things. By the 3rd episode I started to feel so much anger and sadness, I don't think I'm able to finish the series.
I can't wait until they show the part where David Koresh marries a 12-year-old.
Samantha Divis (Trump voice) Your fake news
he married his wife at 14 (which isn't right) but which was legal in texas at the time with parental consent and he had.
Urgh 🤮
They don't like, show the marriage ceremony or anything, but yeah it's stated very clearly that he has underage wives, and the woman in question (Michelle Jones) is portrayed as suffering from it.
This actor looks nothin like david koresh
bud barker I disagree sir
Shsdeau Perez u might need some new glasses man!
Shsdeau Perez & bud barker: He looks like Martha Stewart! 😒🤭
bud barker I agree with you.
The problem with it was that it tried to show the uncommon and unpopular perspective which was obviously the Branch Dividians but it went to far in that direction and portrayed the story as black and white with the Branch Dividians in the absolute right while the giver meant was in the absolute wrong when they should’ve showed the faults of both sides of the story
Except they definitely showed when each of the groups was doing right or wrong. David was clearly causing a lot of problems because he could only have things done his way, and the FBI also caused problems because they could only have things done their way. David said anybody had the right to leave at any time, but would then guilt them if they actually tried to do so. And the tactical director was certainly heavy handed most of the show but in the last episode when he's trying to get people out of the bunker and they're dying you can see his humanity. So the show seems to portray events and people mostly fairly.
And currently we have another potential sitting democrate president unfortunately it could happen again 😨 say it loud stay alive for 2025' !!!
