Bort March 9, 2022 Share March 9, 2022 Quote Gaslit is a modern take on Watergate that focuses on the untold stories and forgotten characters of the scandal – from Nixon’s bumbling and opportunistic subordinates to the deranged zealots aiding and abetting their crimes to the tragic whistleblowers who would eventually bring the whole rotten enterprise crashing down. The story will center on Martha Mitchell, A big personality with an even bigger mouth. Martha is a celebrity Arkansan socialite and wife to Nixon’s loyal Attorney General, John Mitchell. Despite her party affiliation, she’s the first person to publicly sound the alarm on Nixon’s involvement in Watergate, causing both the Presidency and her personal life to unravel. 1 Link to comment
QuinnM April 19, 2022 Share April 19, 2022 I remember this back in the day. It seemed so extreme a reaction to a wife’s defense of her husband. And then much later the truth came out. I loved that Kellyanne Conway’s daughter was deemed Trumps Martha Mitchell. Link to comment
Inquisitionist April 22, 2022 Share April 22, 2022 WaPo's TV critic didn't care for it, and even some of the "fresh" reviews at rottentomatoes found plenty to criticize. I don't have Starz, so I'll be curious to read how viewers here regard it. 1 Link to comment
QuinnM June 17, 2022 Share June 17, 2022 I watched the new Netflix documentary on this whole saga. I must say the costumes were dead on. Sean Penn’s make up was dead on. The voices all seem to echo the right tone. Not sure why the criticism because it was a good representation of what when on. Interesting that the female journalist was not Helen Thomas but the actress is a dead ringer for her. 1 Link to comment
