Plots(1)
Set in an alternate history where masked vigilantes are treated as outlaws, Watchmen, from executive producer Damon Lindelof (Emmy® winner for "Lost"; HBO's "The Leftovers") embraces the nostalgia of the original groundbreaking graphic novel of the same name, while attempting to break new ground of its own. Regina King leads the cast as Angela Abar, who wears two masks; one as a lead detective in The Tulsa Police Force and another as wife and mother of three. The cast also includes Jeremy Irons as the aging and imperious Lord of a British Manor; Don Johnson as Judd Crawford, Tulsa Chief of Police; Jean Smart as FBI Agent Laurie Blake; and Tim Blake Nelson as Detective Looking Glass.

It's Summer and We're Running Out of Ice (2019) (E01)
I’m bothered by the stylization and the costumes. The principle of the weapon holders should be explained and several other things also seem fairly illogical even in the parallel reality. Thematically, it looks interesting, with the racial problems at level 2.0. It just lacks a fundamental link to the history of the Watchmen; it's simply not enough to just mention a trans-dimensional monster a couple of times and give a fleeting glimpse of Manhattan. I’m curious to see how it develops.

Little Fear of Lightning (2019) (E05)
A lot of the wheels have now definitely fallen into place. The flashback to 1985 sets the pace and doesn't falter. The Mirror steals the whole episode, and the scenes with Adrian finally get a payoff that was worth the wait.

A God Walks into a Bar (2019) (E08)
The chat with God in the bar explains a lot. The coherent and self-fulfilling future may seem rather cheap, but it makes sense if you give it some thought. Irons is awesome in this episode. It’s Veidt’s move. Wait for the post-credits scene.
