In the end, though, “The Swamp” is still well worth seeing.

    The final product plays as a showcase for Florida's Matt Gaetz. It's no surprise that Gaetz, whose greatest gift seems to be his capacity to absorb media attention, captivated The Swamp's editor, and there's something unquestionably entertaining about his brazen appetite for attention. But it means that The Swamp is only occasionally about the thing it insists that it's about.
