Watchmen is an American superhero drama television series that continues the 1987 DC Comics series Watchmen. Its ensemble cast includes Regina King, Don Johnson, Tim Blake Nelson, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Andrew Howard, Jacob Ming-Trent, Tom Mison, Sara Vickers, Dylan Schombing, Louis Gossett Jr., Jeremy Irons, Jean Smart, and Hong Chau.
Lindelof likened the television series to a "remix" of the original comic series. While the series is technically a sequel, which takes place 34 years after the events of the comics within the same alternate reality, Lindelof wanted to introduce new characters and conflicts that create a new story within the Watchmen continuity, rather than creating a reboot.
The entire first season is available on HBO - did anyone else watch this show? I've only seen the first four episodes, but I'm shook at how good it is. I love the dynamic between Regina King & Jean Smart. Jean's introductory episode was just....so well filmed.
