As a follow-up to Watchmen, it's embarrassing nonsense fanfiction from Lindelof (as expected, given his previous jaunt with established lore with Prometheus). If it weren't for the constant references to Dr. Manhattan and the weekly appearance from Veidt (which, admittedly, are pretty good - Jeremy Irons is just great), you'd have no idea this has anything to do with Watchmen. It really doesn't feel like a follow-up in any meaningful way.
So I'm trying to watch it with an open mind and excise it from the comic book because the production is generally pretty solid, but I still find myself regularly taken out of it due to a nonsensical script. Why is a 50 year old woman dispatching 20-somethings with ease, but then struggling to transfer a crippled old man from his wheelchair into a car? All cops wear masks because of what happened in Tulsa of all places? How does the rest of the country feel about this? etc.
It's just a frustrating show... as expected, from the writer of Lost and Prometheus.
