"Tells the story of Lincoln’s assignation and the hunt for John Wilkes Booth. Excellent story telling, kick ass theme song. I know some of it was a bit of fiction but other parts I had to look up and did not know Andrew Johnson was such a jerk! The middle episodes dragged a tiny bit but well worth the watch!"
"Endlessly fascinating look at one of the darkest moments in American history. It felt vital and relevant while I was watching. Well made story and a fascinating watch led by a truly inspiring performance by Tobias Menzies as Lincoln’s Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton. Loved watching the heroic courage that many of the freed slaves showed in the capture of Booth, too, especially the story of Mary Simms. It was definitely a slow burn. However, for anyone interested in history, I think, will see parallels on how our past is intersecting with our present."
"Enjoying this show quite a bit. "

"My husband and I are both watching this series. Such a great history lesson! I have always been interested in the assassination of Lincoln and the events that led up to and followed his death. The parallels in today’s political climate haven’t changed much over time."
