Anyone watched Gaslit? Martha Mitchell during Watergate

We just watched the first episode and I would have never recognized Sean Penn as the rotund George Mitchell.

And I would have never recognized Dan Stevens - from Downton Abbey - as John Dean.

G. Gordon Liddy - crazy dude, really.

Learned some things I didn't know about too. I wonder what Dean thinks about it. I read somewhere that he didn't watch it. He comes off as kind of a doofas in the show.
