REVIEW: Watchmen – Season 1, Episode 4 “If You Don’t Like My Story Write Your Own”

AlexGherzo | Nov 11, 2019 | 0

This week’s episode of Watchmen is called “If You Don’t Like My Story Write Your Own” because of course it is. It’s smug, condescending, obnoxious, self-aware to a fault, and both an acknowledgment and dismissal of the audience dissatisfaction Damon Lindelof knew was coming. In other words...

When I heard that Disney was doing a live musical presentation of The Little Mermaid, I was more than a little concerned. This trend of adapting stage and screen classics live has mostly been a mistake, as anyone who watched Peter Pan Live or The Sound of Music Live can attest. Disney is pretty much...

Three episodes in, Watchmen still isn’t very good – and, in some places, astonishingly, how-the-hell-did-they-think-this-was-a-good-idea bad – but “She Was Killed by Space Junk” introduces a potential life raft in the form of a major character from the graphic novel. It’s littered with t...
