Manhunt (2024)
Fire the casting director!
The actor playing Lincoln doesn't look remotely like Lincoln. He's far too young looking with none of the character you see in the actual President's final photograph. Lincoln aged visibly during the war and the stress he endured was evident on his face; you can't simply slap a beard on some actor and replicate this.
Also, how they managed to make this emotional story so bland and uninteresting is beyond me. With the exception of the way over the top death bed performance of the actress playing Mary Lincoln, everyone is just plodding along delivering their lines-no energy-no real emotion.
I have to question the accuracy of this show when I see something as iconic as Lincoln's box at Ford's theater being completely redesigned. It was very jarring to me to see what was actually a separate box in real life suddenly open to the other box seats near it. I am not an expert on the Lincoln assassination but if they can't even get something as simple as the box right, it makes me wonder about the other "facts" they are portraying.
Don't waste your time.
