The Watergate scandal is revisited by exploring some of the minor players involved.
Martha Mason's (Julia Roberts) husband John Mitchell (Sean Penn) is the attorney general to President Nixon. Martha is a personality in her own right. The mouth of the south who is never short of gossip or an opinion.
John Dean (Dan Stevens) gets embroiled in a conspiracy to get Nixon re-elected. A murky operation with some flaky characters.
The first episode introduced the characters. Nixon and the Watergate scandal is a well trodden path. This offers Julia Roberts with Sean Penn under heavy makeup.
The first episode lacks the verve and agility of the recent Winning Lines which charts the rise of the LA Lakers from the late 70s onwards.
I thought the script was dull. The acting was good but it really needs to perk up the story.
