    I looked up Garfield, he was the second US president assassinate and he wasn’t president a year.

      Netflix’s Death by Lightning introduced me to history I probably should’ve learned as a kid but I never paid attention to. I watched the first episode and ended up spoiling the rest of the show for myself by going down a wikipedia rabbit hole.

        That has Mathew Mcfadden and Michael Shannon doesn’t it? That has been on my watch list forever and I need to check it out!

          That’s the one. Michael Shannon is fantastic. First took note of him in Take Shelter, and since then, if I see his name on something I watch it. He’s why I watched Death by Lightning. He did great.

      Yep. After Lincoln made it famous people began to see presidential assassination as rather passe. And he loses out on the shortest tenure record to Harrison, so nobody remembers poor Garfield for much other than his mathematical contributions. Or contribution, singular.
