Watchmen

My brother and I finally got around to watching Watchmen and it really is every bit as good as the reviews say it is. It addresses several tough topics and does so in such a gripping way that you can't stop watching. It also stays true to the original source material as good as any show based off a comic has. It's just a dark, gritty superhero show. The writing and acting are what makes this show so special. There's a reason this show won so many awards and that's because it deserved it. The only negative thing about this show is that it was only a limited series because this is a show that could've been great for several seasons.

So aparently everyone is trashing this show because of the race issues? Come on people, now taking that aside, this show has really started strong, respecting the characters of the original graphic novel but also introducing new ones, and if you're a big fan of Watchmen, you will love the references, can't wait for the next episode.

Promising start, I will definitely come back for the next episode...in fact, pretty sure I ll watch the whole season. I wanna point out the good cinematography...I wasn't expecting to be this good after watching the trailers.

I absolutely loved Watchmen! It's a thrilling dramatic series that will absolutely keep you entertained throughout the series with its powerful storytelling! It's just a shame that they're only limiting it to one season. I know it was only suppose to be a one season limited show to begin with but you would think with how good the ratings were, how good all the reviews were, and all the awards it's won they would've tried for a 2nd season anyway. I mean this show broke records for how many award nominations it got including 26 Emmy nominations (it won huge awards such as Best Limited Series, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Writing, etc., etc.). Oh well, we were lucky to have such an incredible show even if just for the one season.

For the folks out there calling this show "Woke" you actually might be a racist. This show is not "Woke"... Charlies Angels was Woke. Dark Fate was Woke... Watchmen is just great storytelling with a diverse cast and poignant, rarely discussed historical topics.

Seriously, did anyone at any point during high school and college ever once bring up Tulsa 1921? No? Yea me neither.

This show isn't preaching at us and I really appreciate. For the first time in what feels like an eternity there is a strong female lead who is believable and doesn't need to tell us she's a strong female lead. She isn't some stupid Fing supermodel who looks cute holding a gun trying to make us believe her 105lb a$$ can beat up a grown man. THAT folks is woke horsesh**.

I haven't seen this many African American actors on one show/film this mainstream since Black Panther. I love it.

Regina King is truly fantastic and I'm so happy shes the face of something so mainstream.

I'm only a few episodes in but im hooked... all I ask is please Damon Lindelof... don't "Lost" us here.
