WORTH WATCHING: D.C. Drama in ‘First Lady’
"Watergate, the ERA and same-sex marriage are among the political hot buttons tapped in new episodes of Gaslit and The First Lady."
The First Lady
Showtime
9/8c
SUNDAY: These first ladies of different eras really know how to stir things up. For Eleanor Roosevelt (Gillian Anderson), that means continuing her relationship with reporter Lorena Hickok (Lily Rabe) even while the FBI shadows her as “a matter of national security.” In the 1970s, Betty Ford (Michelle Pfeiffer) rallies for ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment, which administration hacks see as a liability, and in more recent times, Michelle Obama (Viola Davis) pressures her husband to put politics aside and do what’s right what it comes to supporting same-sex marriage.
