Watergate: Blueprint for a Scandal

I was 8 years old when Nixon resigned. I remember it vividly. I also watched his testimony on TV. So I was excited to see this. It was informative to hear John Dean and the related people's recollections on what happened during that time. This is pretty well done except for CNN constantly connecting this to Trump. They even had Michael Cohen commenting on Trump. He was convicted of fraud and perjury, but sure let's hear his perspective. By the third episode I fast forwarded through all the anti-Trump junk and anytime Michael Cohen showed up on the screen. If they cut out all the Trump stuff, who literally had nothing to do with Watergate, I would have scored this a 10.

This is obviously an important part of history. Unlike some other reviewers, I can see the parallels to today regarding official attacks on democracy and don't have a problem with that. However, I gave up after 30 minutes because of the awful, annoying music and loud sound effects constantly playing over the talking heads, which seems to be the modern style for some bizarre reason. Is it necessary to have a loud "Whoosh!" or "Boom!" when there is a cut? Does John Dean have to talk like he's inside a dance club? Network documentary makers, stop this!

Interesting information about watergate. However to keep bring president trump into it is just a bashing piece. They just can't let it go any new documentary about anything political is just going to be a bashing piece. They are digging their own graves and wonder why the people don't trust the media. One of the persons speaking on this talks about where are the brave people in congress that they had back in the 70s when this happened. Well I'll say it they are still in congress and are rich and comfortable and so will keep toeing the line to keep there pockets padded. This is such a tripe show.

Watergate is something dull that we all where taught about at school and reflecting over all the films and tv series made over the years on or roundabout this affair that grew on your back of impatient boredome, screaming ''not again'', well then the grumpy old mans advice is, and i consider myself highly informed about the happenings and constitutional crisis making president nixon leave his sound studio at the house, you must have a look at this, its mindbending, still even after 50 years has passed.

A unique documentary , its like regurgitating ''deep throat'' back to life.

I grew up with it - watched the hearings on TV. I'm sure this is well done and informative but we are passing over some really important events. This should air on a history type channel and CNN should be putting in depth, investigative programs. Trump w is an excellent place to start after all he will go down in history as: "Trump The Terrible" and the new Republican Party will be renamed.
