Death by Lightning on Netflix. The 4-parter follows James Garfield's presidency and assassination, telling his story and the assassin's. The historical details are treated with a surprising amount of accuracy, yes the story is that crazy. Purists might be put off by the mix of period and modern dialogue, but I appreciated the work because it opens the story up to a modern audience. Let's be honest, 1880's speech was quite different from today and modern audiences would probably tune out as a result.

4 episodes, all are entertaining, follow along with Wikipedia or other sites and you'll see the story is that batshit crazy.

4 out of 5 top hats.

Death in Apartment 603 on Hulu about a woman (Ellen Greenberg) found murdered, but ruled a suicide with Philly botching* the investigation into her death. Are y'all familiar with the case?

Good 3 part series, watches fast, worth it if anyone's into true crime stories.

3.5 out of 5 lawsuits against the city

*"botching" probably isn't strong enough

Clearly fictional as PPD and the PMEO set the nationwide standard for excellence. 🙄

I remember the case vividly. Many, many people in the LE community were surprised at the finding.

I wasn’t involved, but I know several of the brass lost their shit when the ME declared it a suicide.

Recall it. Crazy.
 
Watched Death by Lightning. If you want understand a short but transformative period of our country, I thought this was very well done. It's about the election and assassination of James A Garfield.
 
The Witcher Season 4 makes GoT seasons 7 and 8 look like the best seasons ever.

I can’t even finish watching this train wreck. Season 1 and 2 were great, 3 was enjoyable, 4 belongs to be burned. I need the MiB light thingy to make me forget all about it.
