THE WORLD ACCORDING TO DICK CHENEY
Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET
R.J. Cutler, the documentarian behind The War Room, returns to politics for this new nonfiction study – but this one is more of a portrait, with former Vice President Dick Cheney telling his side of every story. It’s not fair and balanced, as documentaries go, but it’s not intended to be. It’s more of a P.O.V.-style study, and, as such, certainly is eye-opening. No matter what your politics, you’ll find something surprising in this two-hour special, especially during the early years, when Cheney manages to be around, yet not burned by, both Watergate and Iran-Contra.
