Waco mini-series

Just saw a trailer for this and it appears to put David Koresh in a not-crazy, sympathetic light.

Wondering how far they will push that agenda.

I've seen the commercials for Waco and I will be watching. I'm with you Nic. I find it interesting that the commercials show Koresh in a more sympathetic fashion.

He was most definitely not portrayed as such when the standoff was going down. My memory is that there were accusations of sexual assault with minors. I don't know if any of that was ever proven.

I do know one thing, the visual of that compound burning to the ground was very powerful.

Jane Lynch did a better Janet Reno than either Dana Carey or Will Farrell in the Unabomber series which was also heavily fictional and sympathetic to Ted K.
