‘Watchmen’
HBO’s new series Watchmen is a breathtaking reimagining of the comic book masterpiece. Set 34 years after the events of the graphic novel, Watchmen picks up the story in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where Rorschach has inspired a legion of racist terrorists dead so intent on killing cops, the police in Tulsa have resorted to wearing masks and dressing up as vigilantes to protect themselves. There, Detective Angela Abar (Regina King), going as Sister Night, finds herself in the center of a conspiracy and a couple of grisly murder investigations. Watchmen is explosive, political, and poignant in a way that shocks and awes.
