Gaslit relishes with the concept of power.
John Dean wants to be intoxicated with it but he cannot even meet with the President. His meeting with Nixon was cancelled.
John and Martha Mitchell go to California to get Governor Ronald Reagan's endorsement. It is a mixture of charm and power play. It brings them together. Martha has no need to flirt with her new bodyguard.
Having power also means people are disposable. Martha finds that out when John realises that he needs to cut his losses.
The second episode relives the Watergate break in. Told through the eyes of a new security guard who notices that something is wrong.
It was fun to see that burglars being met by cops dressed like hippies.
It is still an uneasy mix of satirical comedy and drama. I do think that later episodes might find its own path with the fallout of Watergate with some of these side players.
