Watchmen - S1 • E6 Ratings & Reviews
AwardsWatch
Dewey Singleton
Watchmen had the best episode of its season tonight and I'm not even sure it's close (when comparing it to the others).
io9.com
Charles Pulliam-Moore
What's brilliant about the episode is the way it almost turns Angela into a kind of audience member who's witnessing everything that happens throughout the episode for the first time, but unlike us, she's experiencing things first hand.
Flickering Myth
Martin Carr
Worthy of a second season, challenging in ways which will make certain audiences uncomfortable yet consistently unapologetic Watchmen is landmark television.
Lainey Gossip
Sarah Marrs
...for a show that is so critical of superhero stories, Watchmen is doing what the best superhero stories do: It's building a myth of good people who are, in some way, totally outmatched by the problem they face...
Cultured Vultures
Huw Saunders
What's initially a fine, noiry origin story episode is let down by it all being rendered a bit pointless and a disastrous ending.
Vox
Alex Abad-Santos
t I think the most successful element of "The Extraordinary Being" is how it leaned into the circumstances of Hooded Justice's disappearance.
Vox
Allegra Frank
Watchmen's increasing meditations on race have already explored how racial superiority complexes benefit those who believe in them. This episode, in the moments seen through Will's eyes, did that most concretely.
Vox
Emily VanDerWerff
The episode is, in a word, terrific, and I had a glorious time delving into its many secrets and hidden depths.
Tor.com
Leah Schnelbach
It's amazing, and brilliantly shot, with an interplay of super saturated black-and-white and tiny highlights of color that turns the episode into some unholy baby of Schindler's List and Sin City.
Tom & Lorenzo
Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez
This isn't just the best possible adaptation of Moore's original work, it approaches the same levels of complexity and genius.
The Undefeated
Soraya Nadia McDonald
Like the 1619 Project, Watchmen pushes its audience to question the passive acceptance of white objectivity, leaving it to wonder, in the words of one Wade Tillman: Is anything true?
The Ringer
Daniel Chin
In Episode 6, "This Extraordinary Being," we're offered a fourth perspective, that of a man whose life encompasses them all.
The Daily Dot
Gavia Baker-Whitelaw
Directed by Stephen Williams and co-written by Damon Lindelof and Cord Jefferson, this episode is so absurdly good that it's hard to imagine Watchman outdoing itself after this.
Rolling Stone
Alan Sepinwall
Even for a series that is already a huge departure from the source material, "This Exceptional Being" is an enormous gamble. But it's a gamble that pays off spectacularly, in one of the best hours of television that Damon Lindelof's ever been involved in.
New York Times
Scott Tobias
Tonight's astonishing episode directly engages with the most foundational element of the book: the identity of Hooded Justice, the first "masked adventurer" and perhaps the most eternally mysterious.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Angelica Jade Bastién
With this tremendous episode, Watchmen has given us a new understanding of how, more than anything else, it is a series preoccupied by trauma.
indieWire
Ben Travers
"This Extraordinary Being" puts viewers behind Will's mask and takes them on a visceral journey through the heart of the American divide. It's an episode of television as affecting as it is awe-inspiring.
Entertainment Weekly
Christian Holub
What. An. Episode.
Entertainment Weekly
Chancellor Agard
What I loved about this episode is how it does feel like its steeped in history and plays with several archetypal origin stories.
AV Club
Joelle Monique
A hero like Hooded Justice helps me feel seen in an entirely new way. He's not an ideal hero, but a human hero brings something we can aspire to.
