Waco: The Aftermath: A Common Enemy (2023)
Season 1, Episode 2
5/10
Story is already sloppy and going everywhere, even though it is only E2 of 6

A real strong point of the series so far is the ramp-up story to the Oklahoma City bombing and Timothy McVey's radicalization, with a second being the Waco trial of the remaining church members, but there is so much time being wasted each episode so far going over the past.

I don't know why the writers insisted on going back into Koresh's story and replaying the raid over and over again taking up valuable story time that could have been dedicated to the OKC bombing, the investigation of far right neo Nazi groups, and the trial itself.

The viewers have already seen the Waco series. We don't need to see it over and over again, to the point it feels like they are talking all of the B-roll from the Waco series, putting into this series, and calling it something "new". It's not; it's recycled content.
