Season 1 Review:
The series illuminates details left out of other standard Civil War stories, and it will have you looking up the real history on Wikipedia. A special emphasis on the Wall Street tycoons who supported the Confederacy (and became rich from the slave trade) illustrates parallels with modern-day politics. Good art tells a story you can't stop thinking about, but great art tells a story that makes you think about real life.

Season 1 Review:
Even though it has some issues, I quickly became obsessed with this limited series’ compelling story. Historical nuggets, powerful performances, and an engrossing investigation that had a lasting impact on American history lead to Manhunt being an addictive true crime thriller.

Season 1 Review:
With the exception of Mr. Menzies and Lili Taylor as Mary Todd Lincoln—their acting being the best arguments for sticking with the show—the actors give broad performances; the racists are vicious cartoons and the ex-slaves are all cherubic. .... And yet, the story—and the bits of factual detail with which is adorned—will likely keep one watching.
