Gaslit
“Watergate was wrong. Martha was right.”
CreatorRobbie Pickering
Watergate is retold through the people history footnoted, chiefly Martha Mitchell, the celebrity wife of Attorney General John Mitchell, whose refusal to stay quiet about the break-in made her a target of her husband's own White House. Based on the podcast 'Slow Burn', the Starz limited series 'Gaslit' aired in 2022 with Julia Roberts as Martha and an unrecognizable Sean Penn as John, alongside Dan Stevens as reluctant whistleblower John Dean. The series plays the scandal as tragicomedy, a parade of bunglers and true believers orbiting a marriage destroyed by loyalty to Richard Nixon.
