DELIBERATELY SPREADS FALSE INFORMATION!! This series serves to create sympathy for child rapists and child rape facilitators. Several proven facts are wrong and left out of the series. They are spreading dangerously false information and creating sympathy for horrible people. The only people I feel bad for are the children (including the 15 year old WIFE included in the "love story" throughout).

I liked how this series showed the other side of the story and really branched out David Koresh's character rather than just say he's a children abusing false prophet. I also liked how they don't paint the FBI as 100% evil as Gary Noesner was really trying to work with the people.
