B6B: WATCHMEN Episode 7 Review

By JASON MARTIN (@JMartZone – December 1, 2019) EPISODE 7: AN ALMOST RELIGIOUS AWE (Stacy Osei-Kuffour/Clare Kiechel; David Semel) Now THAT is what I call a legitimate stunner of a conclusion. Following an episode that, although compelling, was unbelievably dark, we saw the culmination of much of the show’s first six weeks, finishing up with…more

B6B: WATCHMEN Episode 6 Review

By JASON MARTIN (@JMartZone – November 24, 2019) EPISODE 6: THE EXTRAORDINARY BEING (Damon Lindelof, Cord Jefferson; Stephen Williams) There’s a lot that’s compelling about Watchmen at this juncture, but there’s also a lot that’s just…trash. It’s not bad television, it’s just sludge. We aren’t treading any new ground talking about the racial divide of…more

B6B: WATCHMEN Episode 5 Review

By JASON MARTIN (@JMartZone – November 16, 2019) EPISODE 5: LITTLE FEAR OF LIGHTNING (Lindelof/Carly Wray, Steph Green)f Tim Blake Nelson was exquisite through this episode, which almost entirely centered around his Wade Tillman character, where he came from, and why he is the way he is as Looking Glass.

B6B: WATCHMEN Episode 4 Review

By JASON MARTIN (@JMartZone – November 10, 2019) EPISODE 4: IF YOU DON’T LIKE MY STORY, WRITE YOUR OWN (Lindelof/Christal Henry, Andrew Parekh) So, first thing’s first, the character of Lady Trieu is awesome.

B6B: WATCHMEN Episode 3 Review

By JASON MARTIN (@JMartZone – November 2, 2019) EPISODE 3: SHE WAS KILLED BY SPACE JUNK (Lindelof/Lyla Byock, Stephen Williams) Everything is subjective in analysis, but this was the best of the first three episodes for me as a viewer, because Damon Lindelof began to answer the questions the non-Watchmen comic fans likely had, or…more

B6B: WATCHMEN Episode 2 Review

By JASON MARTIN (@JMartZone – October 27, 2019) EPISODE 2: MARTIAL FEATS OF COMANCHE HORSEMANSHIP (Lindelof/Nick Cuse, Nicole Kassell) One thing about Watchmen thus far, which I hate to say, is that as entertaining as I’m finding it, I’m a little disappointed that the plot has been so razor thin in the direction of merely…more

By JASON MARTIN (@JMartZone – October 20, 2019) EPISODE 1: IT’S SUMMER AND WE’RE RUNNING OUT OF ICE (Lindelof/Kassell) In this day and age in pop culture and escapist entertainment, the Head and Shoulders ad campaign taken from a popular saying always springs to mind. You only get one chance to make a first impression,…more
