Watchmen (2019)
The second half is great

The second half of the show is really good, the origins of Hooded Justice were really interesting, it's was amazing on a technical level and the themes of the story are really important. Episode eight was the best as it was the payoff to all the buildup and seeing Doctor Manhattan and the impact he had on the story made him an awesome character. The finale wrapped up the show in a very satisfying way.

The music is great, the variety of songs is interesting as there are amazing ones for every situation from the spacial presence of Doctor Manhattan and the old, racism filled Oklahoma.

I dislike the writing style, you really feel as you're watching the series that information is being withheld and it really hurts the experience. I didn't have the chance to get invested in the characters because the show is purposely letting you wonder about what could happen without developing the characters.

Also this tries to be both a superhero show and a examination of racism but the superhero aspects are way too silly for the politics to be taken seriously.
