Mercy Street: Season 1

Before the Civil War, Mansion House had been the finest hotel in Alexandria, Virginia. Over the course of the conflict, it was conscripted by the Union to serve as an Army hospital...and this engrossing PBS miniseries looks at the turbulence of the time through the perspective of two volunteer nurses--Yankee abolitionist Mary Phinney (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and pampered Confederate belle Emma Green (Hannah James). Josh Radnor, Gary Cole, Jack Falahee, AnnaSophia Robb also star.
