'White House Plumbers': HBO's Hilarious Take on Watergate
HBO's new miniseries, White House Plumbers, retells the Watergate scandal from the perspective of G. Gordon Liddy and E. Howard Hunt, the men who orchestrated it. The show's director, David Mandel, describes it as "a tragedy that makes you laugh." The series draws parallels between the political climate of the Nixon era and today's politics, with Liddy's character paving the way for right-wing extremism. The show premieres on May 1.
