Watchmen - Season 1
The series follows a chain of action and drama performed by a group of masked vigilantes. These characters are two outlaws who seem to have nostalgia through that leading graphic novel of the same name. This series creates a new path of its own and a path that looks quite distinctive.

Watchmen is grandiose, political, and cinematic television, with epic blockbuster action scenes and standout performances from its ensemble, including from leading lady Regina King.
October 18, 2019
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.

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.
October 19, 2019
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.

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.
October 18, 2019
An energetic, unruly show with a very concise and ambitious objective.
October 16, 2019
This is breathtaking, ambitious television that only gets richer with each subsequent episode.
October 20, 2019
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.
October 18, 2019
Successfully entertaining, without being as thought-provoking as the showrunner undoubtedly hoped.
October 15, 2019
The series' scope is astonishing given its subject matter, and even more so given its relentless entertainment value.
October 18, 2019
I have no idea where it's going, but I want to see it get there.
October 15, 2019
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.
