This article below originally ran over a year ago, celebrating the launch of I May Destroy You, Michaela Coel's BBC TV drama that focused on sexual assault, but also reinvented the television drama, in much the same way that Watchmen did the superhero comic book thirty-five years ago I described I May Destroy You as[...]

The character that originally inspired Watchmen's Comedian, here he is more the opposite of Rorschach, absolutist in the other direction.  In that case, Peter Capaldi's Thinker is playing the role of a Nazi Ozymandius, and it is Rick Flag who becomes the All-American Rorschach And oh look, they all got to fight a massive squid[...]
