So that's it, huh? We're some kind of Suicide Squad?

Read the comic. It does so much better with the concept. Goddammit, can we get at least one good Alan Moore adaptation?! Look at the mans run of Swamp Thing! It'd do well as an animated movie, at the very least!
You didn't like the watchmen tv show?
Not OP, but I wanted to like it only I couldn't bring myself to keep watching. I can't remember if I stopped before the end of the first episode or part way through the 2nd. I completely failed to connect with any of the characters, the setting, the premise or the politics.
I don't mind fiction that's a vehicle for political statements - I like Alan Moore - but it felt like a transparent vehicle for needlessly edgy politics, rather than a beautiful vehicle for needfully radical politics like Alan Moore's stuff is.
But I barely watched it so I know this is a pretty hot take.
It's one of the best single season shows ever done.
It's also mostly Damien Lindelofs work, not Moore's (for the show).
