The first teaser is here: Watchmen | Official Tease | HBOFrom Damon Lindelof and set in an alternate history where "superheroes" are treated as outlaws, this drama series embraces the nostalgia of the original groundbreaking graphic novel of the same name while attempting to break new ground of its own. The cast includes Regina King, Jeremy Irons, Don Johnson, Jean Smart, Tim Blake Nelson, Louis Gossett Jr., Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Hong Chau, Andrew Howard, Tom Mison, Frances Fisher, Jacob Ming-Trent, Sara Vickers, Dylan Schombing, and James Wolk.
I watched it, and I have to say, it is NOT AT ALL what I expected. I am both fascinated and terrified. What they did with Rorschach is pretty cool. But I am not seeing any empathetic characters yet. Also: Don Johnson? Adrien Veidt is the only recurring character, and well-cast IMHO by Jeremy Irons.
