About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a fast, satirical take on real political scandal with big, broad laughs, in the vein of The Front Runner; Not for you if you want a sober, strictly serious historical drama.

Pros: bold political satire; entertaining performances; fresh Watergate angle | Cons: humor feels forced; tone can be cartoonish; uneven focus
