In this drama series, masked vigilantes as laws face a different path where they are outlaws. The series takes us back to the past of the leading graphic novel of the same name, which caused a real sensation. This series tries to break new ground for these characters over time.
Watchmen reaffirms Damon Lindelof's stature as one of the greatest creators to have ever worked in television. Writers can spend their entire careers creating something that isn't half as special as even one of his shows; Lindelof has made three.
There's the persistent sense of narrative freefall you get when almost anything implausible can happen, and usually does, but Regina King anchors it all with passion and purpose.
A phenomenal cast, fantastic stunt choreography, and a societal and historically relevant narrative which is compelling enough to encourage more. While there may be commentary on The Comedian here, Watchmen on HBO is anything but a joke.
It's a world made deliberately strange to offer more incisive comments on the bizarre mythologies of our own timeline - which is what made the original Watchmen so special.
Watchmen is grandiose, political, and cinematic television, with epic blockbuster action scenes and standout performances from its ensemble, including from leading lady Regina King.
Overall, [Damon] Lindelof's Watchmen embraces the spirit of the original comic with its stylish cynicism while attempting to erect a new organizing principle all its own, which will prove controversial to some.
It's dense, odd, thrilling and thoughtful, and it's much closer to Westworld's headspinning sci-fi complexity than the colourful comic book action of Marvel.
