The Watch is a 2021 BBC America television series "inspired by characters created by Terry Pratchett". It began as an attempt to make a fairly straightforward translation of the City Watch books characters into a procedural crime drama, but ended up somewhere quite different after many years in development. It has been quite divisive, with many fans - including celebrity ones - disowning it.
