20 Best TV Shows Of 2022 (So Far)
9. Gaslit
Given the sheer volume of miniseries about American history in the last few years, it's understandable if Gaslit passed you by. Unlike many of the less inspired shows around it, though, this isn't a series you'll want to miss.
Starring Julia Roberts, Sean Penn, and an electrifying Shea Whigham, the drama tells the story of how the Watergate Scandal tore apart not just the Nixon Administration, but those behind the scenes who stood by the President's side or bravely renounced him.
Gaslit works so well because it pulls no punches. Its thrilling, detailed-orientated storytelling makes for an uncompromising portrait of corruption, but one that - despite the infamy of Watergate and its fallout - constantly finds a way to feel fresh, and necessary to understanding modern American conservatism.
