Awww shit! This should be interesting.

I remember when this whole thing went down in the 90s. For whatever reason I specifically remember walking through a bookstore in the mall--back when malls still frequently had bookstores, I believe this one was a B. Dalton--and seeing a book on the shelf about Heaven's Gate only like six weeks after it happened. And I remember thinking, "How the hell did someone already write and publish a book about this?" Seems any responsible writer would need to spend at least a couple of years researching and writing.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to this docuseries. It should be good.
