Watchmen - Season 1 Episode 04: If You Don't Like My Story, Write Your Own
In this drama series, masked vigilantes as laws face a different path where they are outlaws. The series takes us back to the past of the leading graphic novel of the same name, which caused a real sensation. This series tries to break new ground for these characters over time.
A show this guilty of Bad Vertigo Comics syndrome should count itself lucky it has enough going on visually and narratively to power through such undeservingly ostentatious scripting.
Helping matters, to little surprise, is Regina King, who is very much the emotional lynchpin of Watchmen. It's also enormously fun to watch her shifting dynamic with Laurie [Jean Smart].
Episode 4 loudly declares that the show understands intergenerational anxiety as well. Not only that but it's willing to make it all a key part of its tale.
[Hong] Chau makes the third leading woman who is forty or older to enter Watchmen, and she's every bit as wonderful, calculating, and intimidating as Regina King and Jean Smart.
Now that Sister Night, Laurie Blake, and the rest of the Tulsa PD are all firmly within one another's orbit and testing one another, things are starting to get weirder and more intense in the best of ways.
The fourth episode of HBO's Watchmen sidesteps the show's less interesting mysteries in order to spotlight its characters. Filled with references to American comics and Nigerian literature, it tells a potent story of inherited trauma
Coded language, deceptive truths, and a general aura of mystery dominate the fourth episode of HBO's Watchmen, an altogether perfect thematic drive for a story framed around a false-fronting billionaire.
