V P @DoubleEvent 14h I read the book this series is based on over two or three days. It was fantastic. An excellent and accessible history. Unfortunately this series decided to just vaguely follow the book. The showrunners mangled the historical facts, they added a bunch of things that were completely unneeded to further the story and they even had the Secretary of War taking a sojourn to Montreal in the middle of the manhunt. I was incredibly disappointed with how mediocre ‘Manhunt’ turned out to be. They had an opportunity to make a special limited series historical thriller and they absolutely fumbled the ball.

See more Avindu G @RT86379654 Sep 18 Manhunt is a historic account of less known battles that were faught to preserve the victories of actual battlegrounds. We see the so called state within gets sponsored by the regressive wealthy under the protection of political greed. So this anyway is the account of both the dawn and dusk of the last western empire. And the performances were exquisite by the cast. Great music and audio effects. Flawless visuals. It's a show that would gradually turn immersive in it's song for the unsung heroes.

See more Tom F @RT55173143 07/10/2024 The main goal here is to portray the betrayal of radical reconstruction, dressing it up as a “thriller” around the search for John Wilkes Booth. It does a just okay job at both, with the final courtroom scenes elevating the series, but overall they play it safe and settle on TV conventions.

However, it has some flaws that took me out of the story somewhat and that was mostly about the dialogue and a bit of miscasting. The biggest issue to me though was that some characters speak in a modern way and others feel more of the period. This is confusing since there seems like a lot of detail put into creating a period accurate production. See more Read all reviews
