Okay, so I am half way through episode 2 of Death by Lightning, not at all what I was expecting. It isn't a documentary referring to facts, and showing artifacts here and there. It is a dramatization, based on core facts, but.... I guess the best way I can describe is that it "has a bounce in its step", but it is in no way a comedy.
I didn't know the story, and I am fascinated with history, so I am enjoying it.
