So far the first episode is brilliant! Julia Roberts and Sean Penn the perfect picks for their roles. Julia and Sean both award winning performances. All the acting is superb. The writing is spot on. Let's hope all the future episodes are as spectacular as the first!
I just watched the first episode. Stellar cast, great direction, wardrobe and sets are first rate and the writing is solid . Will definatly watch the entire series.
I just watched the first episode again without distractions and this is really an exceptional T. V. offering. The production quality is amazing and again the cast is stellar.
The ads got me and I subscribed to Starz just to see this. How could a cast like this be bad? Well, it can't. I am really happy to say it's off to a great start. The cast is awesome and Martha Mitchell deserved better than she got. I love the photography and the gratuitous nudity. I also like the TV shots. Go Martha. Good luck. Hope it's a big success. This cast can't fail. So far it has a 5.1 rating. Don't believe it. If you don't like this, you just don't get it.
The show is decent but the cast is WOW. Show is shot really well so far. For me as not US Citizen but familiar with the story it's still interesting to see but I guess some American people might think it's not accurate or intriguing enough.
It's also quite interesting to see how different these times are portrayed here and in the First Lady partly featuring This.
If they made a series like this on the Trump administration they'd call it fake news and half the Americans wouldn't believe it. Thoroughly enjoyable and the cast was first rate.
Just watchers the first episode. Julia Robert is great as Martha Mitchell. Sean Penn is inrecognizable as John Mitchell. A perfect combination of history and humor, with a dark edge.
Loved seeing Julia Roberts and Sean Penn again on the screen. Anything Watergate history is so interesting... so glad I stuck with Starz to watch it. Also because of Outlander! Keep bringing on good watching. Must watch.
The cast is first rate and the production values are obviously high, even though they must have spent a mint on the casting - my advice is to check it out, even if you're not a fan of 70s political history (and the ever so charasmatic Gordon Liddy - the first really 'lit' individual lol)
Overall an enjoyable first watch. First episodes are sometimes difficult to nail and Gaslit doesn't always get it right, but I think it's compelling enough to draw you in to its world.
Left me hanging when the first episode concluded, looking forward to more.
Julia Roberts isn't Martha Mitchell, that was bad casting. Sean Penn is very good as John Mitchell. The rest of the cast is ok. During the Watergate crisis, Martha Mitchell's late night calls to journalists were headline news the next morning. There was "Deep Throat" who we later found out was Mark Felt and Martha Mitchell and they gave us insider information over the months that the Watergate scandal dominated the news. I'm not impressed with the script, maybe it will pick up.
Really looking forward to see more! Julia and Sean are magnificent. And the story about Martha needs to be heard. So everyone knows what really happened to her.
Couldnt wait for show to air and when iIt did the hour went so fast. If your a Liddy fan. And love the to follow watergate you will love this season; Julia Roberts was the best pick for Martha Mitchell. If all season is like the opening show we all will be in for a treat. Can't wait till sunday at 8PM on Starz.
