Overwatch (TV series)

Overwatch is a live-action science-fiction action series based off the multiplayer FPS video game created by Blizzard Entertainment. The show is developed by Joss Whedon, Jeffrey Kaplan, and Andrew Kreisberg. Overwatch focuses on several individuals during and after a robot uprising known as the Omnic Crisis.

Overwatch

 * Tracer/Lena Oxton (Cara Theobold) - The main protagonist of the series. Tracer is a British agent who is a time-jumping adventurer and an irrepressible force for good. Tracer plays the role of a lighthearted jokester, especially during battle. She's often quick witted and displays great affection and even insight towards her friends, such as Winston and Mei. She is extremely fearless and determined, not being afraid to take chances and being enthusiastic about discovering new things and places.
 * Soldier 76/Jack Morrison (Bryan Cranston) - The former leader of the Overwatch Task Force. He is an American vigilante who displays a grouchy and serious demeanor, occasionally grumbling about his old age. He doesn't play by the same fighting rules that he used to, according to himself, and insults his opponents by saying they've "got a lot to learn". Ever since the clash at the Swiss Headquarters took place, Soldier: 76 has become obsessed with bringing criminals to justice, usually taking extreme measures to hunt them down. Although he sees no point in bringing back Overwatch to combat the Second Omnic Crisis, he still misses being able to fight alongside them.
 * Winston (Crispin Freeman) - A genetically engineered gorilla. He is an awkward yet gentle giant, never wanting to inflict unnecessary harm on innocents and often stuttering whenever someone compliments him.

 * Jesse McCree - A former operative of Blackwatch, a division of Overwatch specialising in more dubious activities. He is now a vigilante wandering America.
