[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reviving this because Watchmen is free this weekend. I've watched every episode except the last 2.

I get that this show is called Watchmen but I started watching because of the awesome Regina King-led trailer which made me believe the plot would be more based on history than alternative-supernatural reality.

I LOVED Regina King in this tv series and honestly I wish the show was just 'Hooded Justice Revealed: A History of the first Watchmen'. The way they've put it together it reads as a side plot of a major Watchmen drama no one has watched.

[b]Way too many references to things no one has any knowledge of like Veidt, Nixonville, the Minutemen, a world where Vietnam is the 51st state, Dr. Manhattan etc etc. [/b]

I even watched the movie for the backstory but the movie made the Watchmen into powerful X-Men beings and the TV show has those very same Watchmen aged with no superpowers.

Its weird. Anyway, favorite characters - Hooded Justice (the original), Sister Night/Regina King, and the Sheriff. Everyone else can gtfo.

Yes, thank you. So many unfamiliar references in the first two eps, plus the OTT Jeremy Irons character, I lost interest.[/quote]
