Happily, not a lot of bots reviews of this show (note to Amazon: you need to fix the bots issue on IMDb reviews) but too many reviewers posted after the first couple of episodes and missed the point - in spades! This show is extraordinary. It begins in low-key fashion and feels like a gentle satire. The sheer incompetence of most of the Watergate protagonists makes for a ready comedic target. BUT, then things start to get real - not instantly but gradually. Gradually the tone changes and jolly japes become matters of life and death. This is seriously grown-up entertainment. Both Penn and Roberts are extraordinary in their roles and deserve extraordinary plaudits. This will resonate long, long after the final episode.
