- macaronzhá 7 diasDeath by Lightning is exceptionally well-made. As many know, it’s based on the true story of America’s 20th president, James A. Garfield, and his delusional admirer Charles Guiteau, who ultimately assassinated him. The historical events are beautifully executed, and while the entire cast delivers strong performances, Matthew Macfadyen completely steals the show for me. On top of that, the show's 1880s period setting and world-building are absolutely fantastic.
- Junior Reyes1 de março de 2026I just finished watching. A great history lesson with some of today's best actors. Michael Shannon, as always, is putting on a real show. The guy perfectly captured that panicked "Wait, what the hell?" look during the Republican convention scenes. Matthew Macfadyen shines in every moment of this gripping historical miniseries. His portrayal of the eccentric who assassinated the US president in 1881 takes his acting to the next level. One of my all-time favorite performances. Oh my God, he's phenomenal! Great cast. I want to give a shout-out to Shea Whigham, who doesn't always get the love and recognition she deserves, but she always excels in everything she does. I was moved by the scenes of Garfield's suffering during the two and a half months he fought for his life. I was brought to tears by the scenes of his transfer from the White House to the Jersey Shore so he could die in peace and comfort. In short, Death by Lightning, a smart and well-paced political storm, uses its talented cast to build a thrilling story from an often-forgotten moment in history.
- russrev1ews18 de janeiro de 2026This could’ve been a great show, but it falls prey to the “Netflix syndrome.” What’s that? It’s when producers prioritize people “listening” to TV instead of watching it, so every thing gets over-explained, winked about, and overly stated. It’s sucks the energy and life out of visual story telling and really ruined this show. That said, Macfadyen was absolutist haunting and elevates his ability to portray a sociopath to the next beyond Wambsgans. Offerman as well does a splendid job with a bad script. Glad I watched, but dreading the fact that Netflix may one day own Warner Bros.
- hollistercrowley19 de novembro de 2025Excellent all around, the casting, direction, writing, costumes, sets are all brilliant. Golden Globes all around, especially Michael Shannon and Matthew MacFayden. The only bummer is that is was too short, but that’s only because it was such a pleasure to watch. The story was concise and fit perfectly into the four episodes. A moment in history that is not well known enough.
- Michael Surber14 de novembro de 2025I'm already a big fan of period dramas like this one, especially based on real life events. Michael Shannon was incredible but MacFadyen was amazing. All the cast were spectacular, no one coasted thru this. The story itself was shockingly timely. Evidently, there are corrupt people in Washington DC! James Garfield was elected to clean the corruption up and was killed just three months into office. His VP was a drunk and tried to quit office but Garfield would not let him. Nick Offerman was brilliant in the role. The whole series is just four episodes so there's zero filler. Recommended.
