Watergate comes to TV once more as Woody Harrelson and Justin Theroux star as the men who inadvertently kicked Richard Nixon out of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. “The President is a good man,” G. Gordon Liddy (Theroux) says, sitting next to E. Howard Hunt (Harrelson) and adding, “between you and me, I worry about some of the people with whom he surrounds himself.” White House Plumbers tells the story of how Nixon’s own political saboteurs and Watergate masterminds, Hunt and Liddy accidentally toppled the presidency they were zealously trying to protect. It’s based in part on public records and the book Integrity by Egil “Bud” Krogh and Matthew Krogh. Egil is played by Rich Sommer in the series. The five-episode limited series has an impressive cast, which includes Lena Headey, Domhnall Gleeson, Judy Greer, Kiernan Shipka, Tony Plana, Kathleen Turner and Ike Barinholtz.
