“Lost” writer David Lindelof resurrects his old show’s titillating mystery cliffhanger style in his new project, Watchmen, and it works perfectly. The show continues driving us down the rabbit hole and man is it great fun. Episode 2 gives us some leads to the questions from episode 1, provided by the slick goggle sequence, and then even more questions arise. That’s just the way this series is going to shape out, so you better not miss a minute of this one or you’ll be left behind.
Best New Series “Watchmen”
I confess I am unfamiliar with the comic, but I did watch the 2009 film. Interestingly, having watched the film did not prepare me at all for the first episode of the series. I enjoyed the film but already within a one hour episode the film was eclipsed in all categories by the series. It’s mind bending, mysterious, fun and unpredictable. The only downside is that it is only available on HBO.
