Watchmen

Because every HBO series has its own topic, so why shouldn't this nerd fest?

I'm starting episode 3. I like it so far & am interested to see where they take it. Some of the effects have looked a little cheap by GoT standards, but I guess that's to be expected. There is a motel sign shown briefly - "The Black Freighter".

I'm not sure if we're supposed to know, suspect or wonder if Jeremy Irons is Ozymandias or not, but I haven't seen it confirmed or refuted anyplace.

I recorded the first 2 episodes, but haven't watched them yet. It was a free HBO weekend, so it will be a while before I see episode 3 and beyond.

Ahoy, Mateys! Errr I'm sure you'll think of something.

I’m dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It’s the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they’re going to do something incredibly … stupid.

Welcome back, Captain.

Finished season 1 - or, as I'm hoping, the series in its entirety as it wrapped up beautifully, leaving no need or even want for a follow up season.

It was really well done. Will definitely rewatch down the road. Possibly the best swearing since Deadwood.

When something does well, narrative integrity gets thrown in the garbage. HBO will want some kind of follow up season or series.

I could live with a Tulsa PD series or something set in the universe - they don't need to throw it away entirely.

This is free on Hulu right now. I don’t know for how long, so I’m gonna binge it this weekend.

I am unfortunately watching it knowing all the “twists” because CBR is a spoiler filled cesspool rife with clickbait article titles that gave away pretty much everything. But we will see if it still holds up.
