The latest true crime on Netflix series is a deep dive into Kathy Schroeder, the infamous 1993 Waco Massacre and the manipulative religious sect behind the unnecessary tragedy.
Waco: American Apocalypse, which premiered on Netflix on Wednesday, March 22, features never-before-seen footage and in-depth interviews with former members of the Branch Davidians, the cult behind a notorious 51-day siege in Texas. Unlike other documentaries and shows about cults, Tiller Russell's three-part project doesn't focus specifically on cult leader David Koresh's apocalyptic beliefs and abusive ways, but rather on the month-and-a-half-long standoff that unfolded when the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) tried to siege the cult's illegal weapons, which had been stockpiled in anticipation of "Christ's second coming."
