Just finished this Netflix miniseries. If you enjoy Presidential History, it’s worth watching.

“Absolutely did not want the job” proceeds to run for president.

We’ve had several presidents that didn’t want the job. Taft was one of them.

Watched it. It is okay, and somewhat depressing.

Thanks, I love this type of series. I’m going to watch it

Have you watched “John Adams”? I believe it’s on HBO. It’s really good.
I also enjoyed “Turn”

Watched it all in one night. If you haven’t already you should read “Destiny of the Republic” by Candace Millard which is what the series is based on. Garfield was a very good progressive advocating for the new freedmen at a time when that wasn’t exactly popular. I wonder what he may have accomplished if he had survived and served two or more terms in office.

I have watched the first episode and half of the second and it is well done, however, Guiteau, drives me crazy, he’s like a nat you just can’t get rid of.

Agreed, he’s a manic mess. I really enjoyed the story, learned a great deal about those 2 Presidents.

I have to watch the rest. The book that it is based on is also good.
