Waco: The Aftermath fires everything at its audience, giving us a drawn-out prequel, a courtroom-drama sequel, and a tedious spin-off all at once, packed with characters and subplots and slow burns.
Showtime is back with the series "Waco: The Aftermath" to chronicle the trial of the remaining Branch Davidians after the 1993 siege against the US government.
In two series timed to the 30th anniversary of the events, the fallout from a standoff between federal agents and an apocalyptic religious sect gets a second look.
