Today I have reached the movie watching phase of holiday season. I'm not yet into my Christmas movie viewing phase yet but I am catching up on things I missed this year. Highly recommend #DeathbyLightening on Netflix. Fascinating movie.
Fine. Give me a Chester A. Arther biopic starting Nick Offerman and do it now. #deathbylightening #netflix

These people are writing to me every day, offering me support and-- and pledging money. Franny, I was so scared, I thought I was alone! But they're here! They were always here!

#DeathByLightening
Educating and entertaining. Certainly worth a watch. Some creative editing but it did not take away from the historical depiction of the Garfield/Arthur presidency. Great acting by Michael Shannon, Nick Offerman, Matthew Macfadyen and Bradley Whitford. Excellent.
#DeathByLightening on #Netflix is so good. I've watched three times: discovered on my own, shared with my young adult children, shared with my 80+ year old parents who binged it this afternoon. More of this, please @bradleywhitford.bsky.social
One thing I learned from #DeathbyLightening is that some Presidents accomplished change in spite of their party and it took moral strength
Except now I when I see MacFadyen, I only see Charles Guiteau... #DeathByLightening
“Music…Fighting…Sausages!” Once again making Vermont proud, Chester A. Arthur.
#deathbylightening
Nick Offerman did a heck of a job portraying Chester Arthur. #DeathByLightening
Just finished Death by Lightening Netflix. #Nice . #DeathbyLightening
#DeathByLightening, the mini series about James Garfield, is excellent. He might have been a Republican then, but he’d be a Democrat now. Where are the James Garfields & James Blaines of today? The Democratic Party begs you to present yourself as soon as humanly possible
