I liked it because it makes Republicans look like the clowns that they are. Perhaps too much like two dimensional cartoonish characters at times. However, the show doesn't take itself seriously enough for you to care about that imo. I don't know how true to the real events it is but it seemed to make a pretty good effort on the things I am aware of. At first I was not impressed with how the characters were just too dumb to be believable. After awhile their idiocy kind of started to work somehow. Maybe they really were that dumb but who knows. I didn't think they needed to try slip in a JFK conspiracy as they they already had more than enough material to work with on Watergate.
