The Spiritual Successor to Both <em True Detective</em and <em Watchmen</em HBO's latest Sunday night show, Lanterns, has been making waves with its gritty take on the classic superhero franchise.
Created by a trio of seasoned writers – Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, and Tom King – this series is a far cry from the traditional origin stories and action packed set pieces that have become synonymous with comic book adaptations.
One of the most striking aspects of Lanterns is its portrayal of Hal Jordan, Earth's first Green Lantern, as a complex and deeply flawed character.
