On this episode, we do a deep dive into the first four episodes of HBO’s 'Watchmen'.
Created by Damon Lindelof (The Leftovers, Lost), this ambitious continuation of the 1986 limited comic book series boasts an all-star and diverse cast (Regina King, Jeremy Irons, Jean Smart, Hong Chau and Tim Nelson Blake).
While Lindelof’s 'Watchmen' differs in tone from the original comics, it remains faithful in its daring exploration of masked heroes, the human beings underneath and life in a dystopian society.
Dwight, Swain and Adrian jump around a bit but still manage to unpack much of the density in these first four installments. And yes, there are spoilers a-plenty!
