Wasn't Shannon trying to trans one of his kids? I tried to Google it but like clockwork it's looks like it's been scrubbed. I just remember people posting photos of him with his little trans kid running around shopping.

There's so many but the one I remember is Liev Schreiber doing that.

First two things that come to mind after watching this trailer:

1) Don't like the electric guitar music, doesn't match the era - too many are doing this nowadays and it just feels weird.
2) They, of course, inserted a quick scene of MacFadyen (I think?) getting pegged or something? Fucking faggots.

2 Episodes in and I am enjoying. Tons of great acting, and telling a story that isn't really told that much.

If you enjoyed "Manhunt" for example, this is a good watch along.

Is it period appropriate racially? As in are the Irish and Italians ostracized?!

I enjoyed it very much, great acting and a story I didn't quite know. (As I mentioned before)

It made me look up stuff, which is always good.

I would recommend.

Pretty solid watch. A+. Only a few things were mildly annoying, but not nearly enough to speedbump anything.

Assassination could be no more guarded against than death by lightning. He actually said that.

The goofy poem at the end was real, too.

Yeah, the acting and sets were phenomenal in this.

They did insert a good bit of woke shit, like the black doctor being super smart and knew better than the white doctor, but couldn't say anything because racism.

I'm curious how much of the political stuff is reality, because I couldn't tell if history is just repeating 140 years later, or if that's just inserting 21st century shit into this.
