How does one sit down and criticize the perfect show? The 2020 Emmys have been kind to HBO’s “Watchmen” and for good reason: showrunner Damon Lindelof and his team delivered an intricate and diverse superhero story that elevates the medium.In over thirty interviews and awards speeches, “Watchmen” showrunner Damon Lindelof and writer Cord Jefferson have appropriately praised Ta-Nehisi Coates, Dave Gibbons and Alan Moore for inspiring the show.

Damon Lindelof admits he’s a little wary when celebrities use fashion to promote a cause. But when the Television Academy told nominees that there was no dress code for this year’s Emmy Awards, he knew he had to do something.That’s why, as “Watchmen” won the Emmy on Sunday night for limited series (as well as a writing nod and acting awards for stars Regina King and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), Lindelof’s T-shirt proclaimed, “Remember Tulsa ’21.”The HBO show opens with a depiction of the 1921 Tulsa massacre — the real-life tragedy in which the city’s vibrant Greenwood District (also known as “Black Wall Street”) was destroyed.

Watchmen showrunner Damon Lindelof has doubled down on his stance that the limited HBO series won’t get a new season.The comments come after fans urged Lindelof to give the show a surprise return after it won 10 Emmy awards this week.Back in January, a month after the series finale aired, Lindelof announced that he was not interested in making a second season, though has said he is happy for someone else to take the reins in creating further episodes.Speaking to Deadline following the Emmys win, Lindelof reiterated that it “would feel like a huge betrayal of winning limited series” to then come back with another season.“Watchmen is something I’ve loved since I was 13 years old.

Then there was the unprecedented total sweep by Canadian comedy Schitt’s Creek of every category it was nominated in.

Ever since the series wrapped up its acclaim run late last year, fans have been clamoring to know whether or not HBO is going to continue “Watchmen” for another season.
