Things are tense in the United States these days as the threat of the coronavirus keeps going, the upcoming presidential election has many on edge, and the ongoing fight to protect Black lives from police brutality continues. The latter on the list definitely matches up with some themes seen in HBO’s Watchmen, which took place 30 years after the events of the comic book. In fact, a lot of headlines are starting to match up with moments in the series, which was helmed by Damon Lindelof. The showrunner took to Instagram this week to share multiple news stories that are eerily similar to what was previously seen on the show from a KKK robe being found in a Sherrif’s home to cops wearing yellow masks.
