Storyline

Patient compendium drawing from 3400 hours of audio tapes, archival footage, declassified documents, et al, weaves a rich texture of understanding, particularly effective in flashbacks from their current day selves to their Watergate-era roles for such stalwarts as Carl Bernstein, Bob Woodward and John Dean. Numerous current day parallels are elegantly understated.

Riveting viewing

I know very little of American politics as an English man 3000 miles away. Yet the system over there is fascinating, compared to the UK.

If you enjoy real life drama set in living memory this is a much watch. I really enjoyed it. It's quite left of centre based and the journalists are portrayed as heroes.

If you like modern day history give this a go
