Watchmen - S1 • E8 Ratings & Reviews
AwardsWatch
Dewey Singleton
The episode ends with quite an emotional stinger. Also, do not forget that post-credit scene which sets up next week's finale.
Cultured Vultures
Huw Saunders
Interesting concepts and mind-bending storytelling can't quite disguise the distinct sound of the show overreaching.
Flickering Myth
Martin Carr
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II excels alongside Regina King in offering up infinite opportunities which ground the whole enterprise irrespective of time and place.

God Walks Into Abar" proved to me that I was right all along for pining so deeply for more time with the couple.
Vox
Alex Abad-Santos
I do love the story that Doctor Manhattan is just a hopeless romantic at heart who is willing to risk humanity's livelihood to be with Angela. That's so selfish but also, so human?
Vox
Emily VanDerWerff
Of course, I liked this episode. Of course I loved it. It was grown in a lush lake on Europa to appeal to me and others like me, who love when a TV show mixes a highbrow love story with lowbrow nonsense.
Tor.com
Leah Schnelbach
I think it's a testament to the actors that even though Jon REPEATEDLY says that his relationship with Angela ends in tragedy, I was still hoping that they'd somehow averted it in those last seconds.

We can't imagine there's a television creator with a greater understanding of the distinct pleasure that occurs for a viewer when all their questions are answered in a manner that makes sense.
The Undefeated
Soraya Nadia McDonald
The penultimate episode of Watchmen, directed with stunning tenderness by Nicole Kassell, mirrors Dr. Manhattan's galaxy brain in that both are running on multiple and concurrent tracks.
The Ringer
Daniel Chin
In the eighth episode, "A God Walks Into Abar," Doctor Manhattan essentially lays out the timeline for the entire series, while filling in the gaps and nearly all the missing context along the way.
The Daily Dot
Gavia Baker-Whitelaw
I still find it kind of hard to swallow that she [Angela Abar] fell in love with one guy and then essentially lived the next ten years with another one, but this episode did at least sell me on their courtship.
Tell-Tale TV
Kevin Lever
Whatever comes next for Watchmen, it's created a monumental story about those who are in need of their story being told, and it is cementing itself as a television titan.
SFX Magazine
Bradley Russell
Manhattan gets his moment to shine (and glow) in an episode that finally fills us in on all the answers we've been craving, but some story beats may be a little hard to stomach for comic diehards
Rolling Stone
Alan Sepinwall
"A God Walks Into Abar" works on almost every level. It emotionally ties all of its answers to characters we know well in Angela and Veidt, and to someone we thought we knew in Cal.
New York Times
Scott Tobias
Using the meet-weird between Dr. Manhattan and Abar as the structural anchor for the episode provides for a fine union of form and content.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Angelica Jade Bastién
"A God Walks Into Abar" is essentially a love story. It's an ingeniously structured penultimate episode, brimming with genuine feeling while also setting up a tense finale.
indieWire
Ben Travers
"A God Walks Into Abar" delivers a magnificent, heart-wrenching story that's far more magical than any superpower. It's what some may call a thermodynamic miracle.
Entertainment Weekly
Christian Holub
Watching a black man about to be killed by white supremacists tell his love that she can't save him because it's already happened is heartbreaking and revelatory on a whole other level.
Entertainment Weekly
Chancellor Agard
"A God Walked into Abar" handles Angela and Jon's love story incredibly well.
AV Club
Joelle Monique
In a little over an hour, Jensen and Lindelof take the audience through an intense emotional journey of a decade-long relationship. Once again, time takes center stage as a device.
