REVIEW: Watchmen – Season 1, Episode 4 “If You Don’t Like My Story Write Your Own”
This week’s episode of Watchmen is called “If You Don’t Like My Story Write Your Own” because of course it is. It’s smug, condescending, obnoxious, self-aware to a fault, and both an acknowledgment and dismissal of the audience dissatisfaction Damon Lindelof knew was coming. In other words, it’s the perfect encapsulation of the series so…
REVIEW: Watchmen – Season 1, Episode 3 “She Was Killed by Space Junk”
Three episodes in, Watchmen still isn’t very good – and, in some places, astonishingly, how-the-hell-did-they-think-this-was-a-good-idea bad – but “She Was Killed by Space Junk” introduces a potential life raft in the form of a major character from the graphic novel.

The first episode, “It’s Summer and We’re Running Out of Ice,” is…

The Minutemen are striking again as HBO unveiled a trailer for Watchmen, their new show based on Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ graphic novel, at Comic-Con this weekend. Premiering in October, the series from Damon Lindelof stars Jeremy Irons, Regina King, Don Johnson, Louis Gossett Jr., and Tim Blake Nelson, and will be a sort-of…
HBO Unveils First Look Footage of Watchmen
HBO is about to delve into Rorschach’s journal. In a recent look ahead at their 2019 slate, HBO has unveiled not only first-look footage of Game of Thrones but also their highly anticipated Watchmen drama series. While the Watchmen footage is brief, it’s certainly enough to get fans like me excited for this remix of the…
