Manhunt (Apple TV+)

[Kaleb]

Based on The New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award-winning nonfiction book from author James L. Swanson, “Manhunt” is a conspiracy thriller about one of the best known but least understood crimes in history, the astonishing story of the hunt for John Wilkes Booth in the aftermath of Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. The seven-part limited series stars Emmy Award-winning actor Tobias Menzies (“The Crown,” “Game of Thrones,” “Outlander”), and is created by Emmy nominee Monica Beletsky (“Fargo,” “The Leftovers,” “Friday Night Lights”), who also serves as showrunner and executive producer. Emmy nominee Carl Franklin (“Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” “One False Move,” “Devil in a Blue Dress”) directed the first two episodes and is also an executive producer on the series

Looks great but couldn’t they have given this a better title than “Manhunt”? There have already been three different TV shows with that name and a video game series. Still, the cast is great and Apple puts out great shows.

This is a pretty interesting story, the cast is great, and the show itself looks pretty good but damn, that title is generic. Makes it sound like a random spy thriller.

Been it enjoying this, I love that the show is basically C.S.I : 1800's , oh and also John Wilks Booth was kind of a d####.
