After President Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, his secretary of war and friend, Edwin Stanton begins the manhunt to track down Lincoln’s assassin John Wilkes Booth.

I’m a bit of a Presidential history nerd, so I’m super interested to see this one. I’m also a Toby Menzies nerd, so I’m interested to see him too.

I’m only through one episode so far, and I think it had a pretty solid start. I’m hoping (and I would think this to be the case given who Menzies is portraying) that it focuses on the politics of the day, rather than merely being a show about bringing the perpetrators to justice.
