Critic Reviews
Season 1 Review:
In addition to some impressive computer-generated imagery, never-before-seen footage of the FBI negotiation units during the standoff and previously unreleased news footage, “Waco: American Apocalypse” features a number of sobering and insightful, in-depth interviews.

Season 1 Review:
There’s a bit more narration than explanation in this three-part documentary series, though a deep dive into the personal enriches the storytelling. ... "Waco" suffers from a few missing details. ... At the same time, it features people very close to the subject being very open about what happened, even if, when all is said and done, they don't understand it now any better than they did in 1993.

Season 1 Review:
The first episode concentrates almost entirely on the first raid, virtually recreating it in real time. What it doesn’t do here or in the succeeding episodes is contextualise or dig deeper into events. ... A braver documentary might have wanted to investigate a route from Mount Carmel 1993 to Capitol Hill 2021 but this one is happy to settle for spectacle and survivors’ stories over substance. Which is not to say the survivors’ stories aren’t moving.
