Season 1 Review:
Mandel keeps the tone light (up to a point) and the energy high, and the expansive cast includes actors with comic bona fides Ike Barinholtz, Domhnall Gleeson, and Gary Cole, most of whom show up to steal a scene or two before disappearing back into the fabric of the story. ... It's Harrelson and Theroux's show, however, and both skillfully perform the tightrope act needed to keep the series funny without ignoring the gravity of the events it depicts.

Season 1 Review:
White House Plumbers doesn’t feel pointless. The show’s ensemble cast is electric, and there’s a surprising amount of visual style to boot. Theroux and Harrelson are both stellar, but it’s the show’s delicate depiction of their characters’ real-life buffoonery that will jolt and delight both history-class dropouts and Watergate buffs alike.

Season 1 Review:
The combination of shocking real-life events and stellar performances should spark a strong reaction but will likely evoke nothing more than a shrug at best and slight annoyance at worst. It’s a stylish watch, sure. It’s just a shame it feels like that was chosen over substance.

Don't sleep on this show! I saw a promo for it after Succession, and figured it was worth checking out. It's so good! Great blend of comedy and drama, and amazing cast. Loved it.

If the first episode is any indication, HBO has another classic limited series on its hands. Can't wait for episode 2!

Always have loved Woody. Have even liked Theroux since The Leftovers. But dear lord, these two together are something else! Take the the chemistry from True Detective S1 and then make it goofy - This is what we're working with and it's amazing. Also, Lena Headey is an angel and I had no clue.

Woody Harrelson is my favorite actor of all time, and this show uses all of his skills. Funny, dramatic, sad - Woody can do it all. And Justin Theroux is amazing as his counter part, the perfect duo.

It's from producers of Succession, so I had to check it out. And it's great! Similar tone, but maybe a little more comedy, at least for the first two episodes.

I am with all the 10 ratings here. This is an excellent show. Funny, riviting, well acted, lots of star power and fun characters. And it is a great way for the gen X and X'ers to learn a little history. Not sure why the critics were not as positive as the rest of us.

I am sad, I was looking forward to this show but it is just cringe, not funny and lacks any quality.
