Apple TV+’s Lincoln Assassination Drama ‘Manhunt’ Is Informative but Sluggish: TV Review
Aramide Tinubu That President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, who was a theater actor, is obviously widely known. However, in Apple TV+‘s latest historical drama, “Manhunt,” based on James L. Swanson’s book, “Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln’s Killer,” creator Monica Beletsky offers highly detailed and intricate perspectives from Booth (Anthony Boyle), who saw himself as a symbol for the failed Confederacy, and Edwin Stanton (Tobias Menzies), Lincoln’s Secretary of War and close friend.
