This series of strange but true events in American History is awesome. I remember the headlines and the near daily coverage , nightly news, that covered the actual happenings way back in the early 70s. However, it was coming to us, the American public, in sections and somewhat difficult to understand , to make a cohesive judgement ... A break in...? At a Washington DC building..? Involving the then President Nixon? How and why remained a jumbled mess . While I would later read more about Watergate through articles and books, this series lays out the basics, does more in 45 minute segments than most before or since.... I'd recommend this to anyone whoever wanted to know just what the hell happened all those years ago and especially...why. By the way and as an extra added incentive, the actors who participated did a wonderful job, especially Sean Penn and Julia Roberts.... Their portrayal of the principal players, John and Martha Mitchell, were spot on...
