“Death by Lightning” (Season 1) — dramatizes the rise and fall of U.S. President James Garfield, tracing his unexpected ascent to power, his battle against political corruption, and the tragic consequences of obsession and ambition. Set in the turbulent political landscape of 1880s America, the series opens with Garfield’s reluctant nomination at the Republican National Convention and follows his efforts to reform a deeply divided government. As Garfield navigates power struggles with entrenched factions like Senator Roscoe Conkling’s Stalwarts, he appoints Chester A. Arthur as vice president to unify the party. Meanwhile, Charles Guiteau — a delusional admirer — becomes increasingly unstable, believing he deserves a role in Garfield’s administration. His obsession escalates into a deadly confrontation that shocks the nation. Structured as a compact, interlocking narrative, the show blends historical drama with psychological tension, highlighting how personal delusion and political dysfunction can collide with devastating impact. The portrayal of Garfield delivers a quiet intensity, while the depiction of Guiteau adds layers of menace and tragic irony. With a tone that shifts between solemn and darkly ironic, “Death by Lightning” (Season 1) offers a gripping, character-driven retelling of one of America’s lesser-known presidential tragedies.
