Critics Consensus

Watchmen seamlessly begins to tie up loose ends, but Regina King and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II's exceptional performances make "A God Walks Into a Bar" a surprisingly beautiful and profoundly tragic love story.

God Walks Into Abar" proved to me that I was right all along for pining so deeply for more time with the couple.

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?

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.

“A God Walks into Abar” smartly leaves most of the jargon and comic book lore on the floor unlike previous episodes and lets the natural flow of the story between the two speak for themselves.

Playing with reality and undermining the concept of time is all well and good, but in doing this you risk screwing with things like character motive and canonical events to the point where the story simply stops working altogether.

The episode ends with quite an emotional stinger. Also, do not forget that post-credit scene which sets up next week's finale.
