    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Second attempt at a Watchmen TV series. Terry Gilliam attempted an adaptation in the early 90s but could only conceive the story being so epic that the time it would take could only be accomplished on television rather than film. Gilliam's vision went into pre-production with HBO & cast Robin Williams as Rorschach, Jamie Lee Curtis as Silk Spectre, Gary Busey as The Comedian, & Kevin Costner as Nite Owl. The project ultimately dissolved after HBO failed to provide a large enough budget for Gilliam's vision. Gilliam himself later claimed afterwards that an adaptation would've been "unfilmable" anyway.
    • Goofs
      Numerous characters say "calvary" instead of "cavalry" when referring to the Seventh Kavalry.
    • Crazy credits
      Each episode title appears onscreen as a sign or in the background of a scene.
    • Connections
      Featured in The Graham Norton Show: Regina King/Emilia Clarke/Ross Noble/Jason Momoa/Camila Cabello (2019)

    Nothing short of spectacular
    Had to write this review considering all the hate. Great pilot, one of the best ones I've seen in a long time. Beautifully shot, great acting, intense, relevant and highly entertaining. If you have any taste for thought provoking movies, books or shows, you'll love it.

    FAQ6

    • Is this a sequel to the original graphic novel or a loose adaptation?
    • Is this series canon to the movie?
    • For those who know neither the film nor the source book, is this a show about superheroes taking down "bad guys" and/or supervillains?
