Bumping because we just powered through it.

the constant flashbacks are a cringey reminder of how bad the portrayal of Lincoln is.
Nothing is as cringy as 2020s Patton Oswalt being shoehorned into this period piece. Zero effort made to portray a person of the 1860s. At one point he made sarcastic air-quotes. It was like watching him do standup at a Civil War reenactment.



Anthony Boyle from Masters of the Air did a stand-out job as Boothe. Wish they'd spent more time on his acting career. The guy was great to watch as he chewed up the scenery as an "actor".



Lincoln was played by the goofy brother from New Christine. I was better with his performance as Lincoln before I realized who he was. But he did okay.

Horrible casting.

No idea how he got the part especially with excellent portrayals by Tobias Menzies (Edward Stanton) and as mentioned, Anthony Boyle.

Also thought Matt Walsh (Dr Mudd) was very good.
Just remember his roles from The Hangover and Old School and wasn't expecting much.
