White House Plumbers - HBO

This started tonight

 

First episode was hilarious

 

Wasn’t a big fan but in HBO I trust so I’ll keep watching. Maybe it was Woody’s accent or some of the camerawork. Just felt off to me.

 

The a cent is kinda annoying. I’m guessing that’s how the guy talked in real life? I don’t really know a ton of details about Watergate so I’m enjoying this but I don’t know if it’s factual or not

 

The vibe I get is their entire approach is to make the whole thing look just as farcical as it actually was.

 

Struggling to get through the first episode

The main characters suck almost as bad as the writing

 

The Hitler speech at the dinner party was hysterical.

Don’t find this super gripping (actually fell asleep during my first attempt) but for five eps I think I’ll see it through.

 

gave it a real attempt but just didn't like it. great premise, but found the execution lacking.

 

I’ll echo that. All the parts are there but the whole seems off.

 

I didn't even realize it was only 5 episodes. Easy enough.

It's directed by the same guy that did Veep (among other things).

 

Liked it a lot

I agree. It reminds me of the old Pink Panther movies. It’s supposed to be ridiculously stupid. When they finally start making the Trump movies I hope they do them in this type of style. Bunch of fucking idiots.

 

Great observation….the straight up bafoonery element was captivating. justin theroux should win whatever awards they give out these days for acting
