"Watchmen" | Now Streaming on HBO
Plot: Set in an alternate history where masked vigilantes are treated as outlaws, Watchmen embraces the nostalgia of the original groundbreaking graphic novel of the same name, while attempting to break new ground of its own.
Our Take: I'll admit that—despite having read it several times—I appreciated the "Watchmen" comic more than I enjoyed it (and don't get me started on the movie). But Season 1 of HBO's "Watchmen" might have been one of the best seasons of TV I've seen in years. — James
