Plot Synopsis

Based on the podcast of the same name, SLOW BURN is a six-part docuseries that expands on the podcast's first season, with Leon Neyfakh looking back on the Watergate crisis, excavating the strange subplots and forgotten characters involved in the downfall of a president -- and flashing back to politically tumultuous times not so far removed from today. In the series opener, "Martha," Martha Mitchell, wife of Nixon's attorney general John Mitchell, makes a discovery that changes her life and threatens to take down a sitting president. She will be the first of many to take on a White House determined to hide its secrets.
