I just started watching this. Has anyone else seen it yet? Is it renewed for a 2nd season?

I watched it when it originally aired. Pretty engaging story, apparently based on the accounts of survivors.

I haven't seen it. I was thinking about it, but heard it's overly sympathetic to the cult leader.

This does not only seem "overly sympathetic" to Waco but so much of it actually makes a lot of sense. What I also find interesting is how crude and piggy the FBI is being painted with their outright lying, their shooting first and lying on national TV, removing crucial evidence, and FBI using SA gas which is illegal by the Geneva Convention. The ATF is also full of crap. Lies being told to get permission to go burn it to the ground. So in one way, sure they're painting pretty daisies over Waco but notice everyone around the town likes them and they've caused no harm (based on what I've seen), meanwhile the USG comes in with unsanctioned PsyOps being blasted at their horrific sounds, all the promises the government made after making broken promises to try and *cough* negotiate.

The show slants the truth a lot to make the Branch Davidians look way better than they were, but the point still stands. The ATF and the FBI seriously mishandled the situation. The show was great though, from what I can remember. I saw it when it first aired.
Obviously it is not having a season two.

I saw it back in 2018 on the Paramount Network (and have been giving it a rewatch on Netflix recently). I thought it was great esp Taylor Kitsch. He literally looked just like that fucking asshole cult leader. It was uncanny and I was happy that Kitsch was able to show off some of his acting talent (he seriously gets a bad rap imo). Shannon was top notch as well as the FBI negotiatior .
solid 8/10
