I gotta say, so far - and NOT being familiar with the Watchmen comic - I think the show bit off more than it could chew. I feel like it doesn't know whether to be Legion, which was a wack superhero show on FX or AMC a few years ago (in fact, Jean Smart starred in that one too). That show was totally wack and had an amazing first season but jumped the shark in Season 2. Here, in Watchmen, we have all this heavy interesting stuff in the pilot on a race riot/slaughter in Tulsa - which actually happened btw, and it all sort of doesn't matter all that much to the plot so far as I can tell. There's a KKK hood literally hidden in a closet, and a bunch of beige and white kids that belong to two black parents (that isn't explained for three or four episodes), but for those unfamiliar with the comic, it is at best, all over the place. Dr. Manhattan has to be the biggest pussy of a superhero ever.
