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.

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 was hoping for a thorough, historically grounded documentary on Watergate, but CNN couldn't resist inserting modern political commentary-specifically references to Trump. Unfortunately, these comparisons felt forced and out of place, disrupting the flow of the narrative rather than enhancing it. The documentary had potential, but the decision to inject present-day politics into a story that stands strongly on its own weakened the overall impact.

Completely agree with those who are bashing the show due to its false comparison to the Trump presidency. Obviously, this was made at a time when a lot of beliefs were in lies and twists of truth. For example - just ONE example: Now that we as a country know SO much more about how fake Russia-gate was, this documentary should be remade to remove all the negative Trump reference and replaced with all that has been done by Crooked Hillary and her gang of evil doers. After all we now know about election interference, SHE should be the one who is compared to this scandal. Typical, CNN.....very typical.

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.
