Review – Gaslit

Though the cast of this latest take on Watergate includes several familiar faces, the real star of the miniseries is the art direction. The recreation of the hideous mid-century tastes of the upper class in the early 1970s is spot on. Despite the fresh perspective from Martha Mitchell’s point of view, this is yet another iteration of the time-worn trope that the whole affair was roughly akin to the plot of a Three Stooges movie. If we could get past the notion that stupid things are automatically harmless, we wouldn’t be in a lot of the mess we’re in now. Mildly amusing
