This White House Plumbers Trailer Promises a Dramedy Miniseries of One of America’s Biggest Blunders
The historic American debacle that has forever been known as “Watergate” (so infamous that it would be the go-to reference to name so many public scandals that followed it) has been and will very likely continue to be reenacted in TV and movies due to how truly incredulous and botched the whole affair was.
Thus, HBO, Veep’s David Mandel, Woody Harrelson, and Justin Theroux have assembled to do a mini-series, White House Plumbers, following E. Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy, the bad actors that were caught at the Watergate Hotel tampering on behalf of Nixon’s re-election campaign. It’s fitting that Mandel is at the helm here as there is plenty of Veep-style humor baked into Watergate as one can see in the trailer that dropped this week. White House Plumbers will very likely enter awards consideration as a dramatic mini-series, but probably much in the sam spirit that Succession is a drama.
Take a gander at the utter ridiculousness that spiraled into Watergate with this trailer for White House Plumbers here. Then, look for its premiere on HBO starting Mon. May 1st.
