RORY CULKIN as DAVID THIBODEAU in WACO (2018)

I watched the first few episodes of Waco and it’s a really great show.

Taylor Kitsch is killing it as David Koresh! I think he plays the cult leader perfectly and you can very much see why people went and stayed with him because he was quite charming and seemed quite convincing really. Always calm even under pressure like any good leader even when he was shot! 

The story based on the real Waco siege is always an interesting one. After infiltrating them the one guy tried to call off the storming of the castle but they wouldn’t listen to him. They did have a huge store of weapons which he didn’t see though after they were conveniently moved to another room which he was very close to at one point with the ice cream scene. It does make you wonder what the weapons cache really was for and maybe they were better taking them down, or maybe they would have never used them. Maybe it was just for those circumstances only, if they ever got raided although it got them raided. It did seem a bit extreme though.

Of course Michael Shannon plays another FBI agent perfectly just like in Boardwalk Empire. He’s great as the negotiator Gary Noesner on whose book the show is based. Shea Whigham also of Boardwalk Empire is another cop and it’s great to see them in a show together again as they are both great actors.

It is also based on David Thibodeau’s book who is played very well by Rory Culkin who after meeting David at a bar and playing with his band ends up heading back with them for the night. The night just happens to become longer than one night and he falls for a girl and David’s charms and the lifestyle.

It also features Melissa Benoist from Supergirl as Koresh’s only legal wife, even though he took most of the camp as lovers even though he didn’t want to enjoy sex so it seemed a little odd. He just thought he needed to make babies ... but if he didn’t enjoy himself he would have never got babies ... am I the only one who thought that? lol. Anyways, she’s really good and you can tell how much she cared for him.

I can’t wait to watch the rest and see the siege play out until the end.
