HBO's "White House Plumbers" Follows Watergate's Comedy of Errors

Woody Harrelson and Justin Theroux star as two men tasked with taking down whistleblowers, leading to the Watergate break-in and scandal.
The show plays like a bungled heist comedy, highlighting the protagonists' incompetence and limited funding.
The show focuses on developing complex, sympathetic characters rather than rehashing history.
A key part of the show is how the failed operation impacts the men's families, like Harrelson's on-screen wife, played by Lena Headey.
The show aims not to excuse the protagonists' actions but give insight into their motivations and humanity.
