Just finished two series that I thought were really good.
The first was Manhunt, which was about the hunt for John Wilkes Booth by Secretary of War Edwin Stanton after the assassination of Lincoln. Starring Tobias Menzies, Oswalt Patton, and one of my favourites, Glenn Morshower. Some dramatization, and I thought it wandered a bit at the end, but I thought it quite interesting.
The other is A Small Light, a dramatization of Miep Gies and her husband hiding Anne Frank and her family, through until after the war is over. Some amazing performances, especially by Bel Powley as Miep, and Liev Schrieber as Otto Frank. A chilling reminder of what we let happen, and what could easily happen again.
