The Big Picture The Apple TV+ seven-part limited series Manhunt explores the aftermath of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and the hunt to find John Wilkes Booth . Told through the eyes of Secretary of War Edwin Stanton , a little-known figure in American history, the story unfolds as a personal and political tale of what can happen when people feel threatened by change.

That really says something about the quality of the writing, the caliber of the acting, and the way it all comes together.
MENZIES: In a way, it’s an act of curation. You’re reading about him and finding out who the real man was, but also building something that can be at the heart of this TV genre piece. It was a combination of that and Monica ’s writing. There’s obviously an interesting physical component because he’s an asthmatic, which is a seam through it with the physical rigidity to him. That rides alongside this fierce moral compass, which drives him through it.

MENZIES: A big part of this show is an African American story. Monica was keen to articulate that throughout this piece, and at the heart of that is Mary Simms. There was a very natural frisson about those scenes. You can really feel the gears of history in those scenes, going to the encampment to ask her to take the stand and testify.
