“Watchman” seemed to be going the way of “Schitt’s Creek.”

The limited series which seemed right at home during these times of racial reckoning wracked up another Emmy win, this time for co-star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.

He thanked his parents and said “Man, I’m surprised.”

He also revealed that his siblings were watching on Zoom.

“‘Watchmen was a story about trauma,” he said. “It was a story about the lasting scars of White domestic violence…White domestic terrorism, pardon me.”

He dedicated the award “to all the Black women in my life.”
