    Amazing Docuseries

    I don't usually write reviews but I had to for this docuseries. It is one of the best shows about politics period. It has all the elements of a great politics show and if you like politics and history you will love it. If you think you know the watergate scandal the think again.

    JUST SO

    Doing exactly what a documentary should do:
    • Presenting facts as facts
    • Presenting theories as theories
    • Digging deeper, or differently, than anyone before.


    If all issues were dealt with in a similar fashion - many of us would be more enlightened. The narrative keeps the Slow Burn vivid.

    An obvious must se for anybody with an interest in; Americana, Nixon, Ethics or Politics.

    Outstanding Series even Better than the Podcasts

    Can't wait for the next episode. Sometimes it's hard to evaluate what would become historical events as they unfold in real time. This series presents the onion very well and unwraps each layer with care and details that we have either forgotten or never knew. A number of participants who were involved at the time are presented as they are today to add the facts they knew at the time. Excellent overall.

    Aptly Titled

    This was tedious from the start. Why in the world do we have aging cheerleaders on screen? Unwatchable.

    Wow!!!

    After watching Slow Burn I realize I knew very little about Watergate! This show has been an exciting education in not only Watergate but politics as well. Unfortunately I'm seeing a lot of Nixon in Trump. This is a must see!
