The Pinkertons

[Wesley Harris]

Currently on Netflix is "The Pinkertons, " a TV series that aired in Canada in 2014-15. I've only watched the first four episodes but two of the four mentioned the Lincoln assassination. One was only a mention that a gun the detectives found was of the same kind as Booth's Deringer pistol. The other centered on an incognito Edwin Booth playing in a midwestern traveling theatrical troupe. Included a number of pretty accurate comments about the assassination. Pretty decent show compared to what else is on TV and one of the rare series to focus on that time period.
