Gaslit, ep.8 - Final Days (Spoilers)

I’m not sure why the critics liked this show so much.  I mean, the acting is great and I can see praise for that.  The story however, it’s just all over the place in my book.  I went from being interested in the show to not really caring by the end.  Actually, I want to see the documentary that Netflix is doing on Martha Mitchell.  Perhaps I’ll get the story I was looking for here.

Anyway, this last episode is about what happens at the end.  Dean finally recognizes what he did in service to the president was criminal and decides to testify.  This ends up getting him released from jail.

The G. Gordon Liddy stuff. Look, I remember Liddy from his television days and I’m not saying he wasn’t unhinged (because he was) and I never really cared for the guy.  But even I have to wonder how much liberty they took with his character.

Most of the people involved in Watergate are imprisoned and will be pardoned later.

Now, the thing about Martha is that they kind of took fudged with the timeline.  In the episode, we see her in the hospital with Cancer when Nixon resigns.  Martha’s real life was a bit more tragic.  After the events of Watergate, Martha became even more depressed and suicidal. And she wasn’t doing well financially. It was suggested, though, that her son was taking care of her during some of this period.  And then, in 1975, she was diagnosed with Cancer.  Of course, Nixon resigned in 1974.  It is true she died in 1976.

The show does the kind of “where are they now” wrap up.  It mentions how Martha’s story has largely been forgotten.  And this frustrates the hell out of me because the fact that her story was forgotten was the whole reason I wanted to see this show and yet, somehow, her story seems to be largely overlooked here as well.

HarperCollins should hire Betty Gilpin to narrate Mo Dean's novels in audio format.

Love it when characters are like "I've had worse and made it through just fine" and this is also a character who's died three to seven times at least

More funnies

[cocoacat323]

I think it’s so sick of me to hate feeling sad and depressed while also constantly seeking out stories with inherent tragedy within them.

Gaslit, Ep.7 - Year of the Rat (Spoilers)

Honestly, I thought this show was going to be about Marta Mitchell and the gaslighting done to make her seem as though she wasn’t telling the truth.  Turns out the people getting gaslit is the audience.  Sorry, it just….what was this episode?

So, we see the beginning of Martha’s testimony and…that it.  We skipped to the afterwards where Julia Roberts and Sean Penn spend time making sure they receive Emmy Nominations.  Martha and John Mitchell have a huge fight and Mitchell decides to leave Martha.  So does the daughter.  And Martha begins to really spiral.  

John Dean finds out he’s going to be sentenced to prison for five years.  However, it may be less if he continues to provide information.  At the end of the episode, we find out he will serve time at a military base.  

G. Gordon Liddy writes letters to his wife in his end and has a war with a rat that may or may not exist. Seriously, this whole thing goes full on Loony Toons at the end.  

Most of this episode just felt like, well, they didn’t have enough story to make eight episodes and so they’re doing what they can to stretch it out.  But this is the second to last episode.  Let’s hope the last one feels less…wasteful.
