HBO’s Watchmen has taken the small screen by storm with one of the most captivating series premieres we’ve ever seen.

Starring Regina King, Don Johnson, Louis Gossett Jr. and more, the show is action-packed, cinematic, and SO not predictable. Here’s an official synopsis, courtesy of HBO:

“Set in an alternate history where ‘superheroes’ are treated as outlaws, drama series WATCHMEN, debuting this fall from executive producer Damon Lindelof (HBO’s “The Leftovers”) embraces the nostalgia of the original groundbreaking graphic novel of the same name while attempting to break new ground of its own.”
