About this listen
Netflix’s Death by Lightning is gripping, dramatic and TRUE. Or is it?
We call up historian and New York Times bestselling author Alexis Coe for a lightning round fact check of Netflix’s new James A. Garfield series Death by Lightning. What does the series gets right? What does it bend for dramatic effect? And how does it rank compared to other presidential biopic(esque) series?
We'll hit all the highlights:
- The assassination of President James A. Garfield
- The portrayal of Chester A. Arthur by Nick Offerman
- Political corruption
- 19th century medicine
- Should we have more stories about obscure presidents?
