mrpeters23 Review of Manhunt

Manhunt (2024)

It would have taken so little effort to get it right, but...

[22 April 2024]

It is telling when get episode gets a website with 10 fairly major historical accuracy issues or simple scripting errors. Not the whole series. Each episode! It starts with no beard on Stanton, he travels like Sherlock Holmes when in reality he stayed in DC. Mary Lincoln was never on the funeral train, Stanton didn't single handly plan the funeral. I give it stars for creating interest in the subject, but read Walter Stahr's biography of Stanton to get a better picture of the main character. Or the original Manhunt book. Ugh, history more than entertaining when it's done with truth in mind. And it wouldn't have cost any more in the budget.
