Based on the podcast 'Slow Burn,' the drama focuses on the lesser-known stories around the Watergate scandal.

“History isn’t written by the feeble masses — the pissants, the commies, the queers and the women. It is written and rewritten by soldiers carrying the banner of kings.” So declares G. Gordon Liddy in the opening minutes of Starz’s. If it weren’t already obvious which camp he sees himself in, the camera slowly zooms out to reveal him holding his open palm over a flame, in a display of machismo as useless as it is obnoxiously dramatic.

What he doesn’t realize is that the series he’s on is in fact a history of those allegedly feeble masses, and not one particularly flattering to “soldiers” like him. Adapted by Robbie Pickering from the podcastscandal, which is a fine goal on its face. The problem is that it tries to tell seeminglythe untold stories of the Watergate scandal at once, smashing them together into one fitfully amusing but wildly uneven miniseries.
