Watchmen (2019)
6/10
Extremely Uneven
16 December 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Ignore every review that places politics front and center. The show is utterly nihilistic about the politics. The Seventh Kavalry is obviously evil, but everyone seems to entirely miss the fact that the two woke, authoritarian, socialist, utopian statists are every bit as evil, thinking all that's stopping them from saving the world is the accumulation of power.

That said, the show itself is at times great and terrible. There are episodes so corny and ridiculous that they're nearly unwatchable and then episodes that are totally stunning. The show is extremely ambitious so not always hitting the mark is to be expected.

It is absolutely worth watching, but not nearly as good as people are pretending, and certainly not as flag-wavingly woke as they're thinking.
