Sizzlin' Summer Streaming 23' - Waco: The Aftermath - Miniseries

Waco: The Aftermath is a five-episode series is a sequel to the 2018 miniseries Waco.

Years after we saw the dramatic conclusion of the Waco siege, it's time to see the aftermath.

Originally screening on Showtime in the USA April to May of this year. However in Australia, it recently landed on Paramount+.

This sequel series portrays the aftermath of the siege and the trials of the surviving members of the Branch Davidians.

Returning from the OG Waco, Michael Shannon, Shea Whigham, John Leguizamo, and Annika Marks.

The five episodes also explores the lead up to Timothy McVeigh's Oklahoma City bombings. An event even I remembered. I almost think I had a family visit to the USA when this happened.

The trailer credits also included stats of how many current "Patriot" groups there were in the USA. Terrifying.


A lot of the language used in this series could be taken straight from a Trump rally. The government is out to get you. Leave religion alone. These Davidians were sadly brainwashed, certified kooks. 

I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. It covered a lot. From the court case that followed the Waco siege to Timothy McVeigh.

Waco: The Aftermath streams now on Paramount+
