    As gruff and determined as can be, Shannon is but a helpless conscience, equally outraged and baffled, as frightened as driven. In many ways, this is the scariest show on television, as it is so clearly anything but a period piece.

    At first blush another anniversary-timed Waco movie/miniseries/documentary seems unnecessary, especially because we had another docuseries addition to that last bucket on Netflix. But “Waco: The Aftermath” justifies its existence by spinning those events forward, chillingly portraying the Oklahoma City bombing and rise in militia movements that grew out of the standoff.

    “Waco: The Aftermath” suffers from cramming too much into its five-episode structure, but it’s a compelling companion piece to the first series. Viewers who don’t remember much of the Kitsch-starring series (or didn’t watch it altogether) will still have plenty to take away from the follow-up.

    An excellent show, the first of it's kind documenting an integral yet widely forgotten or even unknown event in American history.
