I don't get Netflix (or any streaming service), so I'd have no way to tune in -- but it sounds awful.

Garfield was almost certainly the most intelligent man every to become President of the United States. I suspect I would have liked him a lot. He wasn't very decisive; I don't think he would actually have proved a great President. But his death was purely tragic. As well as a vivid illustration of both the problem of mental illness and of the American justice system.

Incidentally, since we know that there were at least two Garfield ballads, and probably more, I'm not entirely convinced that all those stray stanzas go with "Charles Guiteau."
