“Watchmen: An HBO Limited Series”: HBO’s “Watchmen” was one of the best-reviewed TV series of 2019. And because show creator and runner Damon Lindelof decided to walk away after the first season, the show begins and ends here.
The HBO series used the 1980s comic book of the same name as a base, but then charted its own course. With a strong focus on racial animosity in America, the series opened with a graphic depiction of the real-life 1921 Tulsa, Okla., race massacre, where a white mob attacked black residents and businesses. The show also included the supernatural creations from the comic for an interesting mix.
“It’s a gumbo of genres,” series star Regina King told the Los Angeles Times. “And everyone loves gumbo.”
