In the beginning scene in the first episode, Angela Abar (Regina King) is her child’s classroom for Career Day when a student insinuates that she opened up her bakery business with money from Redfordations. It strikes a chord with Abar — she nearly rips the kid’s throat out. It’s clear that in the Watchmen’s world, Redfordations are emblematic of how contentious — and dangerous — racial tensions have become.
