Gaslit (2022)

Julia Roberts plays Martha Mitchell, the outspoken wife of Nixon's attorney general, who was by several accounts held and drugged in a Los Angeles hotel suite to stop her talking about Watergate. Grown out of the Slow Burn podcast, the series restores a woman history mostly remembered as a punchline. When it stays with Martha it is both accurate and gripping; even the moment a former FBI agent rips her phone out of the wall really happened. It strains when it winds other Watergate figures around her, and those strands are looser with the record.
