Liz Shannon Miller Alternate history series have been all the rage for quite a few months now, something “Watchmen” executive producer Damon Lindelof says could be happening because “alternate history is just more palatable than real history.”His HBO limited series adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ graphic novel of the same name explores the 1921 Tulsa massacre, but it also dips into fantastical incidents such as an “11/2” Dimensional Incursion Event.

Matt Grobar Assistant Editor, AwardslineOn HBO’s Watchmen, cinematographer Gregory Middleton shot episodes in black and white, and Doctor Manhattan blue, taking place in distinct worlds, while figuring out how to translate visual elements from the original graphic novel into the cinematic form.Created by Damon Lindelof, the gritty drama takes place in an alternate version of the 20th century, in which vigilantes—once celebrated as heroes—have been outlawed, due to their violent methods of extracting justice.
