Watchmen [Season 1, Episode 1]
It's Summer And We're Running Out Of Ice
Shown 20 Oct 19
The main story is set a couple of decades after the events of the book. Unlike the movie ( Watchmen (2009) ), this uses the Giant Squid storyline.
Det. Angela Abar ( Regina King ) is a costumed hero called Sister Knight. She abducts suspects without a warrant or a Miranda reading, then brutally beats confessions out of them. Real Rorschach stuff, although in this reality the villains wear Rorschach masks so there is a bit of a double standard going on.
Chief Judd Crawford (Don Johnson - Boy And His Dog ) and his wife Jane Crawford ( Frances Fisher ) attend an all-black performance of the stage musical Oklahoma!. This is ironic on a number of levels. The character of Judd Fry, portrayed as a villain, occupies the oppressed level of society in the wild west that would have been reserved for African-Americans.
Adrian Veidt (Jeremy Irons - Dungeons And Dragons ) is living in a remote mansion.
