	Media	Author	Review
		Joshua Alston Variety	"It is not just uneven, it’s unethical"
		Emma Fraser The Playlist	"[It] suffers from cramming too much into its five-episode structure, but it’s a compelling companion piece to the first series"
		Alex Maidy JoBlo	"It is well-made and acted but does not work as a standalone series"
		Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"The series' larger problem is that the execution does not rise to meet the ambition of its story (...) It all makes the series easy to watch but just as easy to forget (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Brian Lowry CNN	"Drew Dowdle and John Erick Dowdle make a compelling argument that the legacy of 'Waco' is still very much alive and integrated into US politics"
		Chase Hutchinson Collider	"'Waco: The Aftermath' reveals itself to be completely misguided from its shaky start all the way to its forced finish"
		Todd Lazarski AV Club	"In many ways, this is the scariest show on television, as it is so clearly anything but a period piece"
		Joel Keller Decider	"'Waco: The Aftermath' [is] massive, because of all the stories the show needs to cover. And none of them will get the attention they deserve in such a short limited series"
