This show is absolutely brilliant. A magnificent symphony of moving pieces that all comes together beautifully in the end, full of twists and turns, action and just overall great, smart storytelling. Everything from the writing to the acting to the directing to the editing was simply top-notch, and it captures the spirit of Watchmen entirely.
There is one caveat though. I feel this show is aimed towards people who have read the Watchmen comics. Not seen the movie, read the comics. I don't know how much I would have enjoyed the show had I not read it first. On the one hand, it's a weird decision, limiting your audience like this. On the other hand, as a fan, it's amazing to get such an incredible gem, without dumbing down or over explaining so that every dummy can follow.
