Slow Burn's Leon Neyfakh's TV show follows a new mission to search the path of the world around us. It is the task of searching for strange sub-charts and forgotten characters of modern political history. This mission appears to make the difference in the modern world of politics and may find a surprising parallel so far that cannot be disputed.
If you're a fan of the Slow Burn podcast, or if you've never heard it before, you'll find out new information about Watergate during this docuseries. You just have to get past the aren't-we-clever podcast shtick first.
The series takes a fittingly slow-burn approach that doesn't get us to the Saturday Night Massacre and nascent impeachment process until the sixth hour-long episode.
Future podcasters looking to adapt their content to television would do well to follow Slow Burn's clean and simple example - heavy on archival film, with only a modicum of self-conscious visual filigree.
