Welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast, a production of Catholic Answers.

So my wife and I got to do something we rarely get to do.

Actually, we haven't done it in a really long time.

And that has binge watching something.

I mean, we've watched movies on TV when we put the kids down, but we haven't had a series

where we watch it and then say, what happens in the next episode?

And we recently had the opportunity, though, to do that with the Netflix series Waco,

which is a dramatization of the Waco siege that took place between February 28th and April

19th of 1993 that tragically resulted in the deaths of 76 people at the Mount Carmel

Center in Waco, Texas.

So the mini series is a dramatization of that.

It's got great actors and on Netflix.

I thought stylistically it was just done really well and had a big emotional impact on

me.

John Lake, was on the playing one of the ATF agents, Melissa Benowis playing the wife

of David Kuresh, Michael Shehan, I think it's his name, Cheyenne Shehan playing Gary

Newsner, the FBI agent involved in negotiations.

And Taylor Kish does a good job, very good job, I would say, playing David Kuresh, who is

the leader of the branch Davidians during this siege.

So I was watching it.

I just got really amped up by the end of it.

Like I said, it was done well.
