So the first couple episodes of “Watchmen” have only hinted at having an actual Watchmen character in it; it took until this episode for the show to confirm, in fact, Jeremy Irons is playing architect of the end of the world and therefor its savior, Ozymandias. He even puts on...   read more

Oh, good, just what “Batwoman” needs, a whole episode dedicated to the acting stylings of Meagan Tandy. Sadly, I’m being facetious.
