For the folks out there calling this show "Woke" you actually might be a racist. This show is not "Woke"... Charlies Angels was Woke. Dark Fate was Woke... Watchmen is just great storytelling with a diverse cast and poignant, rarely discussed historical topics.
Seriously, did anyone at any point during high school and college ever once bring up Tulsa 1921? No? Yea me neither.
This show isn't preaching at us and I really appreciate. For the first time in what feels like an eternity there is a strong female lead who is believable and doesn't need to tell us she's a strong female lead. She isn't some stupid Fing supermodel who looks cute holding a gun trying to make us believe her 105lb a$$ can beat up a grown man. THAT folks is woke horsesh**.
I haven't seen this many African American actors on one show/film this mainstream since Black Panther. I love it.
Regina King is truly fantastic and I'm so happy shes the face of something so mainstream.
I'm only a few episodes in but im hooked... all I ask is please Damon Lindelof... don't "Lost" us here.
