"Review: 'White House Plumbers' Brings Watergate Comedy to HBO"

HBO's five-part series "White House Plumbers" attempts to humanize E. Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy, two figures generally depicted as supporting comic relief in the Watergate scandal. However, the show struggles to find tonal traction and presents a series of partially managed chaos, making it a frustrating and not wholly satisfying TV series. The impressive ensemble cast feels like they're in a different show, and the discordance is probably largely intentional. While Harrelson's performance is the most in-line with the show's varied excesses, Headey's performance comes closest as a repository of cutting deliveries and subtle eye-rolls.
