TV-MASeason 1
Watergate was bad. They were worse.
Synopsis
White House Plumbers (2023), Season 1 is an HBO drama you can watch online on iFILM — five episodes about the two Nixon loyalists who wrecked the presidency they were so desperate to defend.
A year before the Watergate break-in, E. Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy are handed the job of plugging the Pentagon Papers leak, and they pull together a crew of Bay of Pigs veterans to do it. What follows is surveillance, bugged phones, a botched midnight break-in at Democratic headquarters, and a frantic scramble to bury evidence as the trail creeps toward the Oval Office. Woody Harrelson and Justin Theroux don't play textbook villains — they play cocksure operators whose zeal keeps backfiring.
From the creators of Vinyl, the miniseries treats Watergate as a black comedy of errors without losing the facts underneath. A good fit if you like historical drama with a bitter streak of irony. Stream White House Plumbers Season 1 online on iFILM.
