I like Fran a little bit more because I feel like Fran sort of knows what Gordon is and just kind of does her thing. If Selenie's doing something terrible, she's just setting the calls. Trump gets caught, doesn't care, keeps going,. tells you that's bullshit and just keeps- So all of the structures of the episodes seem outdated. They seem like from a different era than before Trump and the after Trump stuff. It just changed the very way we had to tell stories.
From the verdict in Trump’s sexual assault case to the Santos indictment and the Supreme Court saga, scandal is rife in Washington. Today we turn to the OG: Watergate, as examined in the new HBO series, “White House Plumbers.” Writers and creators Peter Huyck and Alex Gregory and director David Mandel discuss how the show compares to their last collab (“Veep”), trace a line between the blind allegiance to Nixon in the 1970s and the “Big Lie” of 2020 and contemplate what a Trump scandals series may look like 50 years from now would be like (think: Timothée Chalamet as Rudy Giuliani).
