I still don't get how this show is so highly rated. Watched the whole thing and thought it was okay with some good standout episodes. The final few eps were CW level bad in terms of visuals/direction and that Dr. Manhattan was laughably bad.

Compared to the series, the movie was a let down

Facts. The story was so basic and dragged out too long. Outside Jeremy irons the acting was trash

Agreed, it really got worse as it went on

Show deserves every bit of praise it gets

Real

Started watching it couple months ago

First 2 episodes were ok ish, middle portion was unbearable, made me stop watching actually

But ye yall were right it picks up at the flashback episode

The pacing of this series does remind me of a CW Arrow verse show that’s just Rated R.

People keep saying that this show gives them Leftovers vibes so I am gonna tap into that now.

Still have to watch the motion comic on youtube at some point

as someone often skeptical of "golden age of tv" hype this is definitely one of the more worthy shows to be part of that. It's by no means a masterpiece imo but it's creative and visually inventive, beautifully designed and directed and pushes the storytelling of the medium forward

second to last episode's got to be some of the best tv oat

show was great

Real talk

just won best limited series at the emmys

glad it didn't go under the radar. A God Walks Into Abar is one of the coolest things ive ever seen, tv/movie/video game.

i watched watchmen, and then went straight and binged all of leftovers after hearing its a bit similar

two goat shows

i actually watched the leftovers after watching this and i personally wouldn't compare the two

well deserved, show was great

show’s really GOATed

Watched this over thanksgiving break. I thought the ending was a little melodramatic with who gets treated as good vs bad (maybe worthy vs unworthy hero is better phrasing) and sorta went against the ethos of the universe. Like, there are plenty of things this series changed that I thought was great, but the most essential thing about Watchmen is the grey morality of its characters. In this show, there are pretty clear good and bad guys. The only confusion is through plot reveals which keep you on your toes, but overall there’s not a lot of room to debate which characters seemed to be on the most moral footing.

Which all that being said, and it is a big issue I think, I still quite enjoyed the show. Episodes 4-8ish were all straight fire and the storytelling itself was phenomenal. I just wish the ethics had more complexity

Got the whole set on a Black Friday deal for $9.99 so we'll see how this is.

compared to the movie, the series was an abomination.
