Everything I thought it should be, and more. I too lived through this period in history, and found this show infinitely more entertaining than the dramatic & ominous tone of All the President’s Men. News coverage of the day combined with every revelation between then and now clearly indicate that everyone directly involved in the break-in were incompetent buffoons. I can’t think why anyone would expect them to be portrayed any other way. My family and I sat glued to the television as the absurdities were slowly revealed, one after another, until the President of the United States finally resigned in utter disgrace, and the entire country breathed a sigh of relief. I just finished episode 4 & can’t wait for 5.
