Presidents’ Day weekend 2022 should be redubbed “Lincoln Docuseries weekend,” as we have two major docuseries projects debuting. But while Apple’s Lincon’s Dilemma is more focused and straightforward, History’s  Abraham Lincoln , part of a series of presidential docuseries/drama hybrids produced by historian Doris Kearns Goodwin based on her books, is more expansive. But just because they cover a lot of the same ground doesn’t mean that one way is necessarily better than the other. Read on for more.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN : STREAM IT OR SKIP IT?

Opening Shot:  A train in Harrisburg, PA. A woman tells the conductor that her uncle is frail. That “uncle” is actually Abraham Lincoln, traveling in disguise from his home in Illinois to Washington, DC to his inauguration.

The Gist:   Abraham Lincoln is a three-part docuseries/drama hybrid, directed by Malcolm Venville, that takes a comprehensive look at Lincoln’s life, from his childhood in Kentucky, Indiana and the Illinois frontier to his stewardship of a divided country during the Civil War.

The series, which is executive produced by Doris Kearns Goodwin, punctuates its many interviews, with historians like Goodwin, Edna Greene Medford, Dr. Caroline Janney and luminaries like Barack Obama and Gen. Stanley McCrystal, with scripted reenactments. In those reenactments, Graham Sibley plays Lincoln, Jenny Stead plays Mary Todd Lincoln, Stefan Adegbola plays Fredrick Douglass, and Richard Lothian plays Stephen Douglas.

The first two-hour episode starts viewers out with Lincoln’s hardscrabble childhood on the frontier, where he had to bury his mother then fend for himself and his sister when his father set off to find a new wife. He learned to be a hard worker, but he also was a voracious reader, and he wanted a life for himself that didn’t include hard labor as a component. He was also a skilled storyteller, weaving truth, white lies, folksiness and a lot of humor to keep people’s attention.

We see Lincoln’s time as a young lawyer, his courtship with Mary Todd, his depression when his career and relationship go up in smoke, only to rise a year later, his time in Congress when he came out against the Spanish-American War, and his success as a litigator after his time in Congress. But the emphasis of the episode, like  Lincoln’s Dilemma , which also came out the same weekend, is Lincoln’s views on slavery.

Goodwin and the other historians make sure to point out that Lincoln was anti-slavery, but was not an abolitionist. He was against the institution spreading north and into the country’s newly acquired territories. As the country was tearing itself apart over the issue, Lincoln managed to find a platform when he ran for Senate and had his famous debates with the pro-slavery incumbent, Stephen Douglas. He narrowly lost that race, but his showing in those debates, where he was able to boil down complicated issues into everyday talk, set him up to aim for higher office in 1860.

The episode ends in a logical spot: With the siege at Fort Sumter starting shortly after his inauguration. That fort’s fall is what drags the union into battle against the newly-formed Confederate States of America.

What Shows Will It Remind You Of? Abraham Lincoln has more of a biographical bent than  Lincoln’s Dilemma  or  Lincoln: Divided We Stand .  This isn’t the first time or the last that History and Doris Kearns Goodwin have teamed for a docuseries/drama hybrid about a president:  Washington  aired two years ago and  Theodore Roosevelt  is set to air in May.

Our Take: Like the aforementioned  Washington , Abraham Lincoln makes good use of its scripted sequences, with Venville and the series’ writers having the freedom to create these well-done vignettes of Lincoln’s life without needing to figure out a plot to tie them all together. It also helps that Sibley embodies Lincoln so completely, both in his craggy-faced, stooped-over physicality and the folksy manner that endeared him to so many.

The interviews — which this time around, include Goodwin along with Obama and other experts, along with some that overlap with  Lincoln’s Dilemma —  are all engaging, and never veer into the hagiography that accompanies biographies of Lincoln. The focus of  Abraham Lincoln is broader than Lincoln’s Dilemma, and at times isn’t quite as biting in its analysis, but it does its best to be honest about Lincoln’s views on slavery, and how surprising his nomination and win really were.

Where this series shines is some of the details it gives about how he got the nomination, where he started with a surprisingly high number of delegates at the Republican National Convention and then slowly got the required votes via multiple rounds of voting, thanks to some horse trading by his representatives. It also pointed out how he put each of his election rivals in his cabinet, knowing that he wanted experts in their fields who won’t be yes men.

Yes, there is a lot of overlap between this series and  Lincoln’s Dilemma . But both are worth watching; it just depends on how you want your Lincoln history delivered to you.

Parting Shot: Lincoln gets word that Fort Sumter has fallen to the Confederacy and says, “We’re at war.”

Sleeper Star: Jenny Stead, as the emotional but powerful Mary Todd Lincoln, shows exactly what kind of steadying influence she was in her husband’s life, and why she was as important an advisor to him as anyone in his administration.

Most Pilot-y Line: At the RNC, Lincoln’s representative Judge David Davis (Joe Vaz) pumps his fist and says “Yes! Yes!” when Lincoln secures the nomination. Sure, that could have been something people did back in 1860, but we doubt it.

Our Call: STREAM IT.  Abraham Lincoln  is a bit more ambitious and bigger in scope than recent Lincoln-centric docuseries, but it treats its audience with respect, both via well-done reenactments and fantastic interviews.

Abraham lincoln: the history channel docuseries.

Abraham Lincoln is a three-part History Channel documentary event series that more or less serves as the definitive biography of Honest Abe.

I was late to watching the documentary series because YouTube TV does not have an agreement with the History Channel. As a result, it means having to wait until the series became available on DVD . This would usually happen after learning about the DVD release through the publicist. But somehow, no release ever came so it wasn’t until the recent dual-release of Theodore Roosevelt and FDR in the Presidential Legacy Collection that I learned about History producing a documentary series about President Abraham Lincoln.

My first thought going into watching the documentary is what is there to learn I do not already know. Look at how much already exists. Lincoln’s Dilemma premiered two days earlier on Apple TV+ and was available to binge. Anyway, audiences get an opportunity to learn new insights about Lincoln by way of the expert interviews. Among interviews, President Barack Obama and Gen. Stan McChrystal are the two headliners. Kearns Goodwin chimes in when available. Other than them, we get insight from historians Christy Coleman, Dr. Allen Guelzo, Dr. Edna Greene Medford, Harold Holzer, Dr. Caroline Janney, and Dr. Catherine Clinton. Archival photos, news accounts, and Lincoln’s own words complement the interviews. Like with the previous series, they weave in with the dramatic footage.

The total run-time is 5 hours, 21 minutes. This comes out to be about 1 hour, 47 minutes per episode. Yes, this is a lot but I would expect nothing less from the History Channel. The network always has a way of going above and beyond with documentary event series and Abraham Lincoln is no exception. This was History’s third such series following Washington and Grant . Theodore Roosevelt , FDR , and Kennedy would follow. Venville directed at least four of the series–quite the epic undertaking!

History Channel Premieres a 'Cinema Documentary' on Abraham Lincoln

With Presidents Day coming up on Monday, the History Channel is ready to present their newest documentary, "Abraham Lincoln," a three-night series based on a biographical study of the 16th president. At the TV Critics Association Winter Press Tour, network executives and the documentary's executive producers discussed the unique partnership that the network has with Pulitzer Prize Winner Doris Kearns Goodwin, a preeminent presidential historian, to develop the network's event series on presidential documentaries.   History Channel Executive Vice President and Head of Programming Eli Lehrer noted that two years ago, the network set out to make the History Channel "the premier destination for presidential documentary event series." As he explained, "These are projects that tell the definitive and often complex stories of our most influential leaders through the voices of the leading experts on the subject." The first project the network executed in this series was "Washington," which premiered two years ago with 2.6 million viewers, becoming the number one mini-series on cable in nearly three years. And following the debut of "Abraham Lincoln" this weekend, the network plans to present a three-night documentary on Theodore Roosevelt on Memorial Day weekend.  Kearns Goodwin, the historian who wrote the book, "Leadership: In Turbulent Times," which "Abraham Lincoln" is based on, spoke about what she believes makes the 16th president a fascinating figure to bring back to life on the screen. "I think what the series is going to be able to do is to take Lincoln when he was simply Abe. And Graham [Sibley] plays him starting at 21 years old, which is incredible, and he'll play him all the way to 56. And you see a man who's contradictory about whether he's going to go for emancipation or whether he just is going to go for union ... he's got all sorts of depression that he's suffering with his entire life, but humor is the way that he gets his resilience back," she remarked.  Executive Producer Dave Sirulnick added that it's important for a viewer to better understand a person, in this case Abraham Lincoln, by learning and seeing his life before all of his achievements--that is, before he became president. "It's a man that you've been following, and not an icon," said Sirulnick. He continued, "And I think Graham did a beautiful job embodying that, and as a viewer, you grow with Abraham as he becomes president. And then, you've earned all of that understanding, so that when he's making these incredibly difficult decisions and weighty decisions and everything's on his shoulders, you as a viewer have an empathy for what he's going through because you've connected with him as a person."  Sirulnick also explained that "Abraham Lincoln" is a cinema documentary, which, for him, means a marriage of cinema and documentary genres. While there are liberties that have to be taken with this kind of project, the expertise of Kearns Goodwin and other historians involved, the archival photographs, records, and artifacts available played a huge part in forming the script. As Sirulnick said, "The combination of all those tools if you will to tell this epic story and this very personal story is what we like to bring to these and we think that it is a really wonderful new format that aligns itself very well with what Doris has been doing for so many years, for decades, in her writing is putting you there and making you understand what it would've been like to be in those moments." Graham Sibley, who portrays Abraham Lincoln in the film, characterized Kearns Goodwin's telling of Lincoln's story as hitting "the best of both worlds." He elaborated, "What is exciting about this format is that you're able to connect emotionally to a narrative in a very traditional storytelling format, and then you're also getting these objective facts ... I think it's an added benefit to telling such a massive story." "Abraham Lincoln" premieres this Sunday on the History Channel.
