Which is exactly the kind of feeling that one got watching the first big trailer: “Well, this looks like Watchmen stuff, only more of some things and less of others, and also, it’s Don Johnson and Regina King.”
That’s basically what Damon Lindelof has done with his upcoming Watchmen series, too.
He took Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ iconic narrative, which had already been cut and pasted for Zack Snyder’s 2009 feature, and he reinterpreted it with his 2019 mindset for a new, if somewhat familiar, take on the core concepts.
