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.

Yeah that's kind of where I get confused. I remember Schreiber, but I'm pretty sure Shannon was doing it too along with a cornucopia of other Hollywood stars.

Celebrities manipulating their kids for social clout is pretty sick. I highly doubt all of their kids reached these conclusions/states without manipulation. Celebrity kids don't just happen to have 100x the odds of "being" something than a kid in the general population does, not without being coached. Then these celebrities can show them off to media, tabloids, and other celebrities at their rich people brunches as tokens of how "evolved" they are. It's all a bit sick.

"I deprecate war but if it's brought to my door the bringer will find me at home" was a cold ass line. Great limited series.

Like it for what it was. Its really stunning how the government has just totally walled itself off from the constituency today compared to then.

Actors did great and it looked amazing. Funny how he is one of three Presidents assassinated and no one knows shit about him or what happened. This story was long overdue.

Ps.. Chester A. Arthur was awesome.

Thought this was a really good series. Garfield as portrayed would have made a great president.
