The Crown's Tobias Menzies stars in this facile take on the aftermath of Lincoln’s assassination
April 14, 1865, is inarguably one of the most fateful dates in U.S. history. That’s the day President Abraham Lincoln attended a performance of Our American Cousin with his wife, Mary. Midway through the show, John Wilkes Booth fatally shot the President, hopped on stage, yelled the infamous line “Sic semper tyrannis!” , and hobbled out of the theater.
Similarly, Menzies handles himself well enough as a Lincoln supporter who takes it upon himself to carry on his legacy as best he can—especially once his successor begins undoing much of what the president had hoped to accomplish to better usher in Reconstruction. All but unable to delegate anything to anyone working for him , Stanton’s doggedness ends up feeling like an earmarked character trait constantly flagged by the show to better explain why he’s the focus of so much of this story.
