I'm hoping of course you're familiar with The Leftovers. Regina King knocks it out the park in the second season. To be honest, I should follow my own advice and track down a Blu-Ray for all three seasons as watching this again will be somewhat new for me since I've forgotten a great deal about this show.

To be fair, if memory serves me correct, I think Watchmen deals with racial matters a lot more than The Leftovers did since subject matters on The Leftovers were far more supernatural and out there than The Watchmen.
