In einer alternativen Realität, in der maskierte Vigilanten wie Verbrecher behandelt werden, erhält die Serie von Executive Producer Damon Lindelof (Lost, The Leftovers) die Nostalgie des gleichnamigen, bahnbrechenden Comics und geht dabei eigene Wege. Lindelof und Regina King (The Leftovers) arbeiten für die Serie erneut zusammen. King führt den Cast als Angela Abar an, die zwei Masken trägt; die des Lead Detective der Tulsa Police Force sowie die einer Ehefrau und dreifachen Mutter. Zum Cast gehören außerdem Jeremy Irons als der alternde, herrische Lord eines britischen Herrenhauses; Don Johnson als Polizeichef in Tulsa; Jean Smart als FBI Agent Laurie Blake; Tim Blake Nelson als Detective Looking Glass; Louis Gossett Jr. als Will Reeves; Yahya Abdul-Mateen II als Cal Abar; Tom Mison als Mr. Phillips; Frances Fisher als Jane Crawford, Sara Vickers als Ms. Crookshanks und Hong Chau als die mysteriöse Billionärin Lady Trieu.

Watchmen (2019) 

Englisch It doesn't have the cool visual poetics of Snyder's opus, of course, nor as many over-the-top cool moments, but it does flesh out the Watchmen universe and its super hero characters in a very sophisticated way, and the depiction of an alternate world past and present is equally worth highlighting. One of the few additions that has fairly deft action, lots of sci-fi cinematography, but still feels quite down-to-earth and compact thanks to a cracking script. ()

Es ist Sommer und wir haben bald kein Eis mehr (2019) (E01) 

Englisch It may not have the visual balls of Snyder's opus, nor the polished aesthetic and dark fictional world with its own rules, but it’s not that far. The seemingly impossible feat of picking up where Snyder left off with his film succeeded, and it's not bad at all. In places it's a nice mix of retro and modern just like a decade earlier, the effects serve the story and not the other way around, and it's quite obvious that the main building blocks of this colossus are being honoured as much as possible. It’ll be very interesting to watch the coming episodes. ()

Meisterleistungen der Comanchen-Reitkunst (2019) (E02) 

Englisch Weaker. Not much of a Watchmen universe (except maybe the great ending), with lots of flashbacks. I'm hoping hard that this is the necessary coupling to a third episode that will move us forward dramatically. ()

Sie wurde von Weltraumschrott erschlagen (2019) (E03) 

Englisch Slowly, little by little, more and more characters are revealed and story lines and flashbacks start to fall into place like a well-oiled machine. The series so far doesn’t put the film to shame. ()

Wenn dir meine Geschichte nicht passt, schreib deine eigene (2019) (E04) 

Englisch After a stronger episode, we get a weaker one again. Watchable, actually quite OK in a wider context, the mighty Watchmen universe covers it without any problems, but it lacks the wow effect of an alternate world, stronger character development and climactic scenes. The only things worth mention are probably Jeremy Irons and his WTF world. ()

Little Fear of Lightning (2019) (E05) 

Englisch Refined, confident, sophisticated, with a lot of threads finally coming together in a big way. ()

Dieses außergewöhnliche Wesen (2019) (E06) 

Englisch Almost perfect coherence between noir comic book art and cleverly made popcorn fodder for the masses. All in an impeccably crafted package, with moments that could be framed. I'd love to see characters as well written as Snyder had, otherwise no objections. ()

Eine fast schon religiöse Ehrfurcht (2019) (E07) 

Englisch A weaker copy of the previous episode with a memorable finale and a lightly sketched supporting theme of the whole series, which surprisingly makes sense. ()

Kommt ein Gott in eine Bar... (2019) (E08) 

Englisch The most sophisticated and refined episode of the whole series. The sheer joy of an "ordinary" conversation in a bar. ()

Sieh, wie sie fliegen (2019) (E09) 

Englisch The last few episodes are too overwrought for my taste, but there's no unexpected spin or new theme. Everything fell into place well and appropriately within the overall concept. ()
