Miniseries Reviews
Salon.com
Melanie McFarland
Though Kitsch's impersonation of Koresh makes Waco worth sticking with, Michael Shannon matches that dynamism.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
As is Waco rates as a reasonably effective dramatization of what led to the siege, and little more.
Austin Chronicle
Josh Kupecki
The boilerplate exposition feels stilted and someone needs to get Shannon a cup of coffee.
The Ringer
Alison Herman
Waco has done far more ironing out than enriching in the episodes leading up to next week's grand finale. The Dowdles have hamstrung their own ambitions, reducing Waco from a reckoning with the muddled past to an oversimplification of it.
The New Republic
Jo Livingstone
The intimate humanization of Koresh and his followers comes across as a pure defense, a vindication of the rights of fringe groups to exist with huge stockpiles of guns without attracting the eye of law enforcement.
Vox
Emily St. James
It's in the interactions between the Branch Davidians and the federal government that the Dowdles best capture the sense of an easily avoidable yet nonetheless inevitable catastrophe.
indieWire
Ben Travers
The Waco series seems overly eager to vindicate Koresh. And that taints an otherwise well-told story.
The Atlantic
Sophie Gilbert
What Waco needs, and fails to achieve, is a complex, unified theory of Koresh.
NPR
Eric Deggans
A compelling, tragic tale that allows stars like Kitsch and Shannon to play different, surprising roles, just like the new cable channel that's featuring the show.
Collider
Allison Keene
Despite a fantastic cast, with a particularly outstanding performance by Taylor Kitsch, the miniseries' desire to make Koresh a folk hero is a miscalculation.
RogerEbert.com
Nick Allen
The show creates its own problems in telling this story, especially as it can't seem to handle the scope.
Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
Kitsch is quite convincing as Koresh. He plays Koresh as genuine, if not saintly, and that laconic Tim Riggins charisma is put to good use, or icky use if you keep waiting for the miniseries to find anything Koresh does problematic.
Paste Magazine
Amy Amatangelo
Waco is thought-provoking, risky, and engaging, with the type of nuanced performances that should garner Emmy nominations.
Los Angeles Times
Lorraine Ali
It's so busy delivering Spam-sized chunks of ham-fisted dialogue defending the misunderstood Koresh, it loses all those other critical threads that make Waco a cautionary tale for all sides.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
More notable for its casting than its execution.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Matt Zoller Seitz
... still a necessary and sometimes powerful series, particularly in the third hour...
New York Times
Mike Hale
The key choice here was the casting of Mr. Kitsch... who radiates sincerity and has an overflowing charisma that the real-life Koresh is said to have lacked.
The Daily Beast
Karen Han
Though it's difficult to say whether or not the 1993 Waco siege warrants revisiting, the Paramount Network's new six-part miniseries does the best job of examining such a loaded question.
Newsday
Verne Gay
Waco won't be the first drama to reduce a tragedy to its simplest components, but this doesn't offer much confidence that these are the right components or the only ones.
Variety
Maureen Ryan
Despite a partially successful attempt to set the record straight, Waco too rarely offers the kind of depth that would make the examination of these powerful motivations compelling.
