The writing was well thought of and the cinematography wasnt too obvious yet once you notice it, you can't unsee nor forget it, the ways they hinted at kal being Dr manhattan was brilliant, the way things tie in such as the reason for hooded justice killing the chief of police and how he found out in the first place, people complain about how this deals with racism and such things, even going as far as to ruining the watchmen name, yet I don't think they have, people are just pissed because of the confusing plot (which comes full circle in the end) and that its not souly focused on the main cast of watchmen yet a new line of said heroes, I've read the novel and watched the movie and I have to admit I loved the show, my only problem with it was designs, manhattan should never let his glow dim nor should his eyes be human, along with the rorschach masks, I think make them like the original and that would be great, or at least remove the eye holes, other than that the designs for other characters such as ozzy and hooded were spot on and that made me so happy
