“This Extraordinary Being” is one of the most memorable episodes of HBO’s “Watchmen,” in which Angela (Regina King) transports into her grandfather’s memory and sees what life was like for him as a Black officer in 1938. Stephen Williams directed the innovative episode shot mostly in black and white and just earned an Emmy nomination for it. In an exclusive new interview with Gold Derby, Williams says it was important for viewers to be “as subjectively connected to the experience that Angela Abar was undergoing,” which involved seeing the action through the eyes of Angela and by extension, the young Will Reeves (Jovan Adepo). Watch the exclusive video interview above.
