The “Watchmen” series is based on the popular DC Comics of graphic novels, published from 1986 to 1987, and longtime fans have been quite critical of the show.
Series star Regina King responded to the backlash in an interview with Digital Spy.
“With some people, I wonder if it’s one of two things: were you truly a fan of the graphic novel? Because if you were, you’d realize there was a political story in there,” she said. “And two, did it feel less political for you because you, as a white man right now, watching this, it’s making you uncomfortable? Which one is it? A combination of both?”
She has urged viewers to “keep watching”, explaining: “I would like for (viewers) to reserve their judgment until they get to the ninth episode. From there, then express what you feel. But please let your expression be truly what you feel.
