HBO’s Watchmen is a full-fledged sequel to Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ influential 1986 graphic novel. HBO’s series is set about 30 years after the original comic series and directly builds off of the events of that story.

The show is set in an alternate history where masked vigilantes are treated as outlaws, and these superheroes rely on technology, weapons, and their own skills to get the job done. The drama series is more relevant than ever today due to its examination of race and the criminal justice system.

The show debuted last fall, and while it became extremely popular with fans, creator Damon Lindelof recently told USA Today that there won’t be a second season.

3 great free movies to stream this weekend (March 14-16)

A female cop and a male cop walk next to each other.

After a few barren weekends at the theaters, three new movies are debuting on March 14. These include Novocaine, an action comedy starring Jack Quaid; Black Bag, a spy thriller with Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett; and Opus, a thriller featuring Ayo Edebiri and John Malkovich. If none of those titles interest you, check out Bong Joon Ho's Mickey 17.
Those four movies should bring people out to the theaters. However, you can also stay home and watch a free movie on a FAST service. Our three recommendations include an award-winning musical, a 1990s comedy, and a thrilling crime drama.

West Side Story (1961)

Who knew that William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet would inspire one of the best musicals ever? After its run on Broadway, West Side Story was adapted into a musical film by directors Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins. It's 1957 in New York City's Upper West Side. There is a turf war between two rival gangs: the Jets (the white Americans) and the Sharks (the Puerto Ricans).
During their battle for control, Jets co-founder Tony (Richard Beymer) and Maria (Natalie Wood), the younger sister of the Sharks' leader, fall in love. The star-crossed lovers grow closer, even as the rivalry intensifies in the streets. Between the magnificent dance numbers and iconic songs, West Side Story is an all-time classic and worthy Best Picture winner.

Max has one of the better streaming vaults on the market. Heretic, a creepy thriller starring Hugh Grant, is now the top movie on the service after one week. If you like Oscar winners, the silent-animated adventure Flow is now streaming. Other movies populating the service include Men in Black, We Live In Time, and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
While all of these movies will be top options for some, plenty of other little-seen movies are ready to be streamed. This weekend, try one of these three movies: an excellent cop thriller, an eye-opening sports documentary, and a 2016 studio comedy.

End of Watch (2012)

There is a clear line of demarcation in David Ayer's filmography. There is pre-Suicide Squad and post-Suicide Squad. The movies before the DC superhero movie are superior to what comes after Jared Leto's Joker. Ayer clearly thrives when writing action movies involving cops. End of Watch is one of Ayer's better offerings.
Best friends Brian Taylor (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Mike Zavala (Michael Peña) are partners in the LAPD. The duo is assigned to work in a tough South Central Los Angeles neighborhood. Taylor and Zavala are honorable men, but their ethics are challenged when the cartel runs afoul in the area. End of Watch is definitely in the "makes dudes cry" hall of fame. Emotional is an understatement.
