The final confrontation between John Wilkes Booth and the Union cavalry who have been closing in on him is no less tense because you know how it's going to end.
I've read a few books on the subject so I'm familiar with what happened at the barn where Booth and Herold are trapped, but there's nothing like seeing it on the screen in front of you. Anthony Boyle as Booth has been very good right from his first scene. Same goes for Will Harrison as David Herold.
It was an interesting move to have the subject of the show's title "Manhunt" meet his end with more than an episode to go, but I like that it will now assumedly give us a solid episode dealing with the trial of Herold and others, which is often somewhat glossed over.
