      T F I went into this not thinking it would be a show I’d enjoy, but have been proven wrong. Not only are there many terrific performances portaying interesting characters, but also the smaller historic details not typically covered in a history class are fascinating. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/27/24 Full Review Richard M Terrible casting, editing was apparently done in a detox clinic. Zero attention to detail. Tobias Menzies is a dreadful Secretary Stanton characteristically one dimensional as always and the actor portraying Lincoln comes off like a reject from Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure. A HUGE waste of money and certainly a waste of time. Advice: play one handed UNO instead of diminishing your intelligence by squandering time on this dreck Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/27/24 Full Review Steve W Excellent story, acting, very accurate history and all real characters. very much enjoyed each episode. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/25/24 Full Review Andrei D A bit on formula, Menzies is impressive Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/19/24 Full Review Brendan J Not sure what some of these reviews are whining about. This was about as entertaining as you can make this story (albeit yes, with several liberties taken on fact vs. fiction). Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/19/24 Full Review Fran R Absolutely loved this extremely well-made limited series. The story was enthralling, and the acting and cinematography were superb. Very thought-provoking! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Verne Gay Newsday Cerebral, engrossing. Rated: 3.5/4 Apr 8, 2024 Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times The series is well furnished and costumed and moves with pep through its alternating scenes of action and reflection; it is various enough not to get dull. Mar 20, 2024 Full Review Brian Lowry CNN.com The show lacks the narrative momentum the title would suggest, feeling a little too much like homework by landing in a no-man’s land that doesn’t find the sweet spot between politics and true crime. Mar 19, 2024 Full Review Diane Carson KDHX (St. Louis) Though over a century and a half in the past, “Manhunt” is history writ large with ironic and sobering parallels to today, adding impact. Apr 26, 2024 Full Review Robert W. Butler Butler's Cinema Scene A gripping and immersive dive into the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and its aftermath. Apr 26, 2024 Full Review Carmen Paddock Movies We Texted About What ultimately emerges... is a poignant picture of the cyclical nature of American power, idealism, avarice, vainglory, and violence Apr 23, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
