The show will be a failure for those who value historical accuracy.
This is the reality of the break-in:
Break-in planned from White House by Jeb Magruder and John Dean. Never at a higher level than them - this "plan" was a reaction to a bi-partisan call-girl ring about to be exposed.
CIA discovers and co-opts. Nixon was guilty of other things, including dirty Fla. mob money, but innocent here.
Silent Coup book vindicated by history.

https://www.watergate.com/Bob Woodward was a top aide to Gen. Haig (Naval Intelligence). Placed by CIA Mockingbird into the Post....so a former top intelligence aide to Haig became a "reporter" with no reporting experience. He must have been hired due to his amazing writing ability.

https://www.watergate.com/bob-woodward/woodward-haig-connectionDean lost badly in court cases to Alice Mayhew and Taylor Branch, his ghost writer ... why? Consistent dishonesty. Let's briefly review some details -
- proven lies to Nixon for 10 months, until March 73.
- who destroyed the notebook found in Hunt's White House safe? Dean.
- smears of Jack Caufield and Anthony Ulascewicz...not a good idea.
- work of investigative journalist Clark Mollenhoff.... pretty clear Dean had prior knowledge of operation
- Magruder testified under oath.... not only about their prior knowledge of a break-in, but Dean was the instigator of Gemstone.
- Dean had access to FBI investigation of the break-in....including the fact the FBI found no working bug.
- His relationship to investigator John Caufiled ...another bad idea that came back to bite him.
- Paying Lou Russell to hide in Silver Spring
- All the denials re Heidi Rikan and the DNC "relationships"....bad for him historically
- look into Eugenio Martinez and the key in this context, makes a lot more sense than "official" story
This show will be a total fail.
Also - look into Woody's father. Who was he friends with? What did he do for a living? How about right round Nov. 1963?
That's just for starters. This was a CIA co-opt of an amateur operation to get call girl records
