The FBI and ATF seize religious leader David Koresh's Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas in the spring of 1993.
...very honest.
Knowing and following both stories depicted in the first act of the pilot episode (Ruby Ridge & Waco), I'd say this depiction is about as fair and honest as you'll find outside of the Frontline/American Experience exposes'
When the story writes itself it takes strong leads and acting, and what you find here is just that with Shannon and Kitsch. Solid stuff.
What you also get is the "inside and the outside" stories that the actors have figuratively bought into and it shines. Highly recommended and looking forward to the next in the series.
