Watchmen (2019) HBO Series
Spyro Rating: 8,0 /10 as "a worthy sequel"
Creator: Damon Lindelof
Stars: Regina King, Jeremy Irons, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Tom Mison
If you haven't read the 1986 comic by A. Moore and D. Gibbons or watch the 2009 movie adaptation then change your spare time plans and read / watch those the earliest possible. The 2019 HBO series of nine (9) episodes is just a modern day sequel to the 1986 comic book events.
Alan Moore was scammed by his publisher regarding the rights of his comic and the characters he created. Because he is not positive in writing any sequel, the HBO 2019 producers could not consult him on this series so they hired "lesser" writers for the script. After watching all episodes, I think those writers worked very hard and delivered a worthy sequel in a manner of quality -not ethics.
By starting Watchmen 2019 series you need to know that your patience during first episodes will be rewarded in the final ones. Even what this series is about can only be understood halfway. This is one of the rare examples in TV where many elements that seem very random at first, get all connected and explained in the finale.
