It'll be interesting to see how these reviews come through and if personal opinion on the matter is going to sway the opinion on Taylor and his performance...they seem to be kind of all over the place. One calling Taylor outstanding while another calling him the weak link and not understanding anything about David and how people could follow him.

As I stated above, “Waco” is at its worst when it delves into the private lives of its characters, including both the Branch Davidians and the federal agents. David Koresh is portrayed here by Taylor Kitsch, the series’ glaringest weak-link. And look, no one is rooting for Kitsch harder than I am (Texas forever, after all), but this right here is just some bad casting. Somehow Kitsch is unable to sell the precise kind of charisma a cult leader like Koresh must exude at all times. He never comes across as a true leader, and has no chemistry with his supporting cast — including his first wife and primary confidant, Rachel (Melissa Benoist).
