Watchmen
S et in an alternate history where
masked vigilantes are treated
as outlaws, HBO’s “Watchmen,” from
Executive Producer Damon Lindelof
and starring Academy-Award winner
Regina King, embraces the nostalgia
of the original DC Comics book while
attempting to break new ground
of its own.
The series is set in the same world as
the original story, but takes place 30
years later in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in an
alternative America fraught with both
racial and political tension. King leads
the cast as Angela Abar, a wife, mother
and a lead detective in the Tulsa Police
Force. By night, Abar takes on the role
of Sister Night, a vigilante and superhero
who takes on white supremacy.

Along with King, the cast includes
Jeremy Irons as the aging and
imperious Adrian Veidt; Don Johnson
as Judd Crawford, Tulsa Chief of Police;
Jean Smart as FBI Agent Laurie Blake;
Tim Blake Nelson as Detective Looking
Glass; Louis Gossett Jr. as Will Reeves;
and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Cal Abar.
The nine-episode series was HBO’s
most watched new series since “Big 60
Little Lies” in 2017 and was also the
most popular premium cable show
of 2019. AT&T D&I Annual Report 2019
