I don't agree with most of the reviews here. Yes, there may have been some creative liberties made but the series is solid. I look forward to the next episodes. Tobias Mendes as Edwin Stanton is a standout. Hamish Linklater is perfectly cast as Abraham Lincoln. He's no Daniel Day-Lewis. But this is a TV show. Anthony Boyle, as John Wilkes Booth is as handsome as they come! Yes, and even Patton Oswald is more than perfectly cast as Lafayette Baker. Elvis Nolasco is the spitting image of Frederick Douglass. Don't let the naysayers fool you. This series is definitely worth your time, money and effort.
