Politics and scandals go hand-in-hand. Be it real-life or fictional, there are so many examples one might get tired of counting. One of the main reasons why Game of Thrones was widely successful is that it took elements from real life. It showed how ugly the fight for power can turn out to be. The show’s star Lena Headey (Cersei) will once again deal with political drama in her upcoming series. Headey has joined the HBO series The White House Plumbers, which delves into the Watergate scandal.
