Another would be that Watchmen’s United States has Hollywood legend Robert Redford as its president, a comic detail that the TV show honored.
Watchmen is now easier to watch than ever, with the Blu-ray and DVD release coming soon after HBO Max’s streaming debut.
Unfortunately for star Regina King, however, Redford never actually appeared on screen.
It’s just as easy to note the similarities between the show’s racially charged storyline and the current real-world political climate, but there are obviously plenty of differences as well, such as the existence of a glowing blue super-being.
