Reviews of Manhunt (2024)

From March 15 to April 19, 2024, the streaming service AppleTV+ released a seven-episode miniseries called Manhunt. The series was advertised as being based on James L. Swanson’s New York Times Bestseller, Manhunt: The Twelve-Day Chase for Lincoln’s Killer, which was released in 2006.

The following are links to my related blog posts with information concerning the series. The first few are posts I put up before the release of the miniseries announcing the latest news about the project. The bulk of the posts, however, are my historical reviews of each episode of the series, pointing out the fact vs. fiction shown on screen. The goal was to provide viewers of the series a tool with which to learn more about what was portrayed. To make each review easy to find, I decided to create this standalone page containing links to them all.
