HBO's 'Watchmen' examines race, white supremacy and police brutality. Sunday night's series premiere has creator Damon Lindelof asking, 'Should we have done it?'
What you need to know about HBO’s “Watchmen,” whether you’ve read the comics, seen the movie or neither.
The opening scenes of the first episode, for instance, re-create the Tulsa, Okla., race riot of 1921, in which a prosperous African American community was savaged by angry whites, including the Ku Klux Klan. Black men are shown being dragged by cars. In a scene from a later episode, a black man is strung up, and the scene is shown from his point of view as he looks down in horror at his attackers, gasping desperately for air.
Regina King plays caped crusader Sister Night and her alter ego, Angela Abar, a Tulsa detective who protects her identity by posing as a baker, in HBO’s “Watchmen.”
