- TheFullTimer10 december 2025A good Watchmen sequel series which folds traumatic issues into the genre. The talented cast, Watchmen universe, and story potential will certainly grab many to praise the potential more than the result. No doubt, Watchmen fans will love some new history, and the additions pre-1985 will be welcomed. Looks strong on first watch, but subsequent viewings may leave you confused by production decisions. After the first few episodes the serious social topics of race, police/vigilante brutality, inherited trauma, & sexuality aren't explored in any complex manner. Rather, the show prefers to define *all* matters in clear language, with no gray areas. Social issues are teased but never fully explored, and the topics become window dressing as the series loses itself in plot holes. This results in reprehensible actions of the main characters being wholly endorsed as "for the greater good". There are a few episodes where the writing loses sight of character development as characters stop dead to ask the Five Ws or curse one-another rather than write a proper scene. The inorganic developments are hand waved as later episodes cut in flashbacks from a previous episode to both fill time or insult your intelligence. It's wholly unnecessary for a series aimed at Mature audiences (TV-MA), and even occurs as flashbacks within the *same* episode!
