In "Post-mortem", Tobias Menzies' Edwin Stanton, Secretary of War in a country recently at war with itself but currently adjusting to peacetime, must balance the preparations for President Lincoln's funeral with trying to put together a full picture of who killed the POTUS at Ford's Theatre, and figure out whether it is part of a conspiracy enacted by Confederate forces.
Meanwhile, the actor turned assassin John Wilkes Booth is on the run, trying to stay several steps ahead of federal forces, receiving assistance from various sympathisers.
Less action than the first episode, but nonetheless a strong one: good writing and good acting, especially from Tobias Menzies. I recognise characters from history as they are introduced.
