Check out Watchmen on Hulu now.
Hulu has HBO’s series Watchmen available on its on-demand streaming platform, with popularity growing for this show again.
The series is based on the DC Comics series, where the setting is a world which sees vigilantes deliver their own version of the law.
When watching the series, fans have noticed that the phrase ‘who watches the watchmen’ has made a return.
This phrase has its roots in ancient history, as a Roman poet called Juvenal wrote satires during the 1st and 2nd century, where he wrote it in Latin.
In Latin, the phrase translates to ‘Quis custodiet ipsos custodes’, which means ‘who will guard the guards themselves?’
The idea behind the phrase is that enforcing justice on those who are delivering it can be difficult. It also introduces the concept that those policing should be policed.
Watchmen is available to watch on demand with Hulu now. You can sign up here and make use of a free trial if you are a new subscriber.
