The series focuses on Sister Night/Angela Abar, played by Regina King, a Tulsa detective who dresses up as a nun to fight crime and encounters a white supremacist group called the Seventh Kavalry. The series is essentially a sequel rather than a remake, with the story set 34 years after the events of the book that examines the consequences of Ozymandias' ( Jeremy Irons) actions. Based on the iconic 1986 DC comic series by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, Watchmen (2019) is a superhero dystopic action drama that reimagines the setting and characters of the original comics. But do note that the movie and the series are vastly different from each other. If you have seen Zack Snyder’s 2009 movie version then we also recommend the series for you to sit and compare who made the better adaptation.
