Manhunt (PILOT)

Nearly 160 years since the end of the Civil War and arguably the most infamous assassination in American history, Apple TV has just released the first two episodes of its series Manhunt, which is based on the 2006 bestseller "Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer" by James L. Swanson. Featuring Anthony Boyle, Tobias Menzies, and Hamish Linklater channeling his inner Dana Carvey-esque impersonation of Jimmy Stewart, the production behind this show is high stakes, with nearly 200 sets and Apple-quality camerawork. Tune in to hear our breakdown and comparison of the two episodes while we discuss history, acting, pros, cons, and ratings. Welcome to Today's Episode!
