    • 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.

    Excellent!
    Watchmen is every bit as good as the reviews say it is. It's one of the best shows of the last several years. It addresses several tough topics and does so in such a gripping way that you can't stop watching. It also stays true to the original source material as good as any show based off a comic has. It's just a dark, gritty superhero show. A lot of the negative reviews are saying they only watched a few minutes or an episode of two at the most. How can you judge an entire series on only a few minutes or even one episode? The writing and acting are what makes this show so special. There's a reason it won so many awards and that's because it's an amazing show. It sucks that it's only a limited series because this is a show that could've been great for several seasons.

    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?
