A gripping historical drama with real-life stakes, Death by Lightning electrifies with its taut storytelling and powerhouse performances. Matthew Macfadyen is mesmerizing as Charles Guiteau, capturing the assassin's delusions with chilling precision. Michael Shannon brings gravitas and quiet dignity to President James A. Garfield, while Nick Offerman surprises with a layered portrayal of Chester A. Arthur. Bradley Whitford and Shea Whigham round out the cast with sharp, compelling turns as Senators Blaine and Conkling. This limited series doesn't just recount history; it resurrects it with urgency and emotional depth.

Can't lie I started this for Mathew Goode and Mathew Goode only Imao. Can't say l'm disappointed really. I was actually going to give this a lower rating and then the final reveal is why I bumped it because honestly didn't see it coming at all.

I think the set up for Goode's character was really nice as well. It's nothing we haven't seen before. Tortured genius etc. But I like Goode's portrayal nonetheless, it helps that he has some of the most miserable eyes l've ever encountered Imao.

Seriously though, some of the character traits were touched by the acting Other than that, well shot, well acted, big fan of the music and as I said I really liked the twist. Good pilot will definitely be continuing this show.

The series is very good! I loved this Judy Blume Novel & it's really refreshing to see it told in a modern age perspective through the eyes of a Black young couple! Mara Brock Akil is an amazing screenwriter & producer. Her previous huge shows were Girlfriend's and Being Mary Jane so, I'm not surprised that this show is beautifully put together from the music, the wardrobes, the writing, the directing , the relatable dialogue and the references. I love to see this type of romance series that is has familiar characters and themes to my life and community!. We better get a season 2. Had me crying fr.
