    I want that hour back.

    One of the worst episodes of anything on tv. The insane concentration on Liddy dragged on and on and on and on. This was clearly the laziest script so far.

    Who tuned into this series to deep dive into the twisted, psychotic, self-righteous bum, Gordon Liddy? Not me. Even without this episode, his airtime is far overdone.

    Hopefully the finale can squeeze in a few minutes of dialogue for the non-Liddy actors with some reference to the Watergate scandal.

    Rubbish, and boring rubbish at that

    Who cares about the psychoses of Gordon Liddy? He's about the least interesting character in the entire Watergate saga.

    It adds nothing to the overall arc of a series purportedly about how a President got taken down. It never did.

    Pointless

    I'm not sure why this episode exists.

    There's about 15 minutes of worthy story & information which could've been added to the previous & next episode.

    7 episode series was all it should've been.

    Fabulous acting!!

    I am loving every minute of this series. All the actors are above & beyond fabulous. Kudos to Shea Whigham for an incredible depiction of Gordon Liddy. I've seen him in a lot of things & he always gives a great performance. I think this was his best so far. Give that man an award!!

    Skip this episode.

    Nothing of value happens. To quote another reviewer - 'I want my hour back!'. I simply cant understand why they wanted to ruin such a good series.

    Catastrophy.

      Martha married John Mitchell in 1957 and - according to the series - met in a Cantonese Restaurant. The neon sign depicted in Simplified Chinese would be near impossible - particularly for one of Cantonese Cuisine in the USA prior to 1957. Simplified Chinese was not introduced in China until the late 50s and early 60s and no Cantonese Restaurant proprietor would use simplified Chinese.
