Ike★ 2,922 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 8 minutes ago, jehurey said: Watchmen, True Detective Season 1, and Chernobyl are the best things HBO has put out this decade. And they all have one thing in common, the story that was told was isolated entirely to that short series of episodes. None of them were treading on a future payoff that was completely botched. I'm willing to say that each episode of Chernobyl was much more impactful than any show's singular episodes, but if we're talking about judging a whole season, I'd have to say True Detective Season 1 is probably the best. The Leftovers is better than all of those and the best show HBO ever put out and the best show this decade. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The leftovers is up there with them. I can’t say it’s better. But yeah, HBO has created many gems. Barry and Curb in 2020 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Watchmen is barely watchable I tried to sit through the rest of it barely made it. Just not into it Don't think it's even getting a second season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Literal Nazi Rudolf Hess 278 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I finished it last night. Godly final episode Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,991 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) I think Watchmen was solid overall but it definitely didn't resonate with me as much as it did with other people. I preferred the first half of the season where everything was still a mystery, the more they revealed the less interesting it got.

MalaXmaS 651 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Finished watching episode 4th last night. Episode 3 was a remix of that mission for the old Baron from Witcher 3. Except it was a grown up woman instead of a dead baby. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I disagree with this. I don't think it's in the same vein at all. Ozymandias is basically stripped of all subtlety. He's not an egomaniac in the comics Doctor Manhattan was completely ruined as a character IMO. Nothing interesting about him by the end. Rorschach... Don't even get me started The soundtrack is basically a bad Blade Runner ripoff The writing goes from decent to terrible, hitting the audience over the head with the same dialogue multiple times to make sure you get the point. We got it the first time Too heavily relying on twists that just felt forced for me And I think you guys already know my opinion on the politics of the show. Equating the threat of nuclear holocaust to racism in modern day America is so fuckin stupid and lazy it boggles the mind. I won't even go on about the rest because the jumping point is already bad enough. Edited December 24, 2019 by Vini Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,299 Posted December 25, 2019 Author Share Posted December 25, 2019 Too bad the soundtrack from this new watchmen series wasn't as good as the soundtrack from the comic book. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Racism was the fight that hooded justice was fighting against. The real bad guys wasn't even the racist....she used his fight to get what she wanted and he used her to finish the fight he couldn't because he was old as dirt now. You're just triggered because the show had racist people in it..... you were triggered from Episode one when you lost your shit and started crying from the jump....bbbut how dare they include racists in the show Quote Link to post Share on other sites
