First of all, “Joker” wasn’t taking shots at any political parties in particular, and instead, it was more of an “eat the rich” sort of thing. But that being said, there is a huge problem with “The Hunt” when it comes to its attempts at political satire.

Watchmen, which depicted the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre in its remixed universe that blended real-life events with alternative versions of history, was one of 10 scripted TV series to earn a Peabody Award for Entertainment in 2019. Creator of the HBO adaptation Damon Lindelof and star Regina King put together a joint acceptance video, addressing Americas forgotten history, after the ceremony was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. This show not only evoked thought and conversation but exposed history that had been forgotten, all while we were able to entertain, King says in a video that, according to Vulture, was recorded before the killing of George Floyd and subsequent protests against police brutality and systemic racism. So they stepped forward and told it themselves, with candor, authenticity, and grace.

So when ET recently sat down with Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof at the junket for his highly anticipated HBO series, Watchmen, we asked him to set the record straight on all those reboot rumors once and for all. "I, personally, am not going to be involved with other versions of Lost because we told the most complete version," Lindelof clarified. Lindelof currently has his hands full with his dream project as the creator and executive producer of the new Watchmen TV series, which premieres on HBO this Sunday, Oct. 20. HBOOne of the things Lindelof is most excited for Watchmen fans to discover are all of the special Easter eggs he's hidden throughout the first season. So what's the one thing Lindelof wants audiences to know before tuning in to the first episode of Watchmen?

The Watchmen are back with a whole new saga, which is previewed in HBOs first official trailer for the upcoming series. The original Watchmen is being remixed, as the creator puts it, with the introduction of new characters that live in a world years after the original events took place. In this Watchmen, Rorschach's followers are white supremacists, and the police don these masks as they fight against terrorists in their theoretical backyard. Speaking to ET in late April while she was filming Watchmen in Atlanta, Chau admitted she was having a great time on set.

In this Watchmen, Rorschach's followers are white supremacists. "I went through a very intensive terror of f**king it up I'm not entirely sure I'm out of that tunnel. "I'm channeling the spirit of Alan Moore to tell Alan Moore, 'F**k you, I'm doing it anyway.'" In this Watchmen, Robert Redford is president of the United States, and has been since the '90s. "They've abolished term limits," Lindelof explained, adding that the show analyzes "what happens if a well-intentioned white man is president for far too long."
