Plot
As per BBC America, âThe Watchâ follows an unlikely group of misfits, The City Watch, who are forced to find the guts to save the world, surprising even themselves in the process. âThe comedic yet thrilling series pits trolls, werewolves, wizards and other improbable heroes against an evil plot to resurrect a great dragon which would lead to the destruction of life as they know it,â notes the official synopsis. âThe modern and inclusive series is inspired by the characters created by Sir Terry Pratchettâs famous âDiscworldâ novels, including the captain of The City Watch Sam Vimes, the last scion of nobility Lady Sybil Ramkin, the naïve but heroic Carrot, the mysterious Angua, and the ingenious forensics expert Cheery, together with The Watchâs own idiosyncratic depiction of Death.â
