Martha Mitchell, John Dean and all those involved with Watergate are featured in Gaslit, produced by Julia Roberts who plays the eccentric wife of Nixon's Attorney General.
I remember the night Nixon resigned, but we didn't have a TV at the time so I didn't follow it closely. We were driving to Georgia when we heard the news at a Shoney's along the way. The Big Boy chain featuring a neon fat boy holding a fat neon burger.
This ten-part series on STARZ is very interesting and well-done, and I've spent much of the day watching it.
There are uncanny resemblances between the time of Nixon and what we're learning on the January 6th investigations, White House staff lying and breaking laws to stay in good standing with a horrendous President. One of the characters says, "How do we survive when we don't even have a shared understanding of what's right and what's wrong?"
Next up: a documentary called "Who Is Ghislaine Maxwell?"
