    Marvelous episode

    Intelligent episode. Finally we know Will Reeves' point in this series. This episode had the grip to keep you watching it until the end.

    The black/white cinematography and a hint of color in it, was spot on. It will make you more interested in Will Reeves.

    The music was good. I especially liked the scene at the end, with the warehouse scene. It had the hooked on the right situations and the music also had the feel of sorrow.

    This episode was great and I hope that it will stay great to the end. I will wait for the next episode and hope that it will stay as mysterious and interesting to the end.

    Best episode

    Just watch it for yourself it is truly a masterpiece and is the best episode of the show
    10W011y4m5

    Literal masterpiece.

    HBO's Watchmen manages to further build upon its layered, rich mythology in a beautifully inventive, genius style, channelling Alejandro González Iñárritu's Birdman through some genuinely sublime noir cinematography & direction from powerhouse duo Stephen Williams & DoP Gregory Middleton. This episode is breathtaking, brutal & unflinchingly intelligent.

    Better than the movie.

    Probably the most accurate comic book to tv show adaptation.

    Even better than the movie since it also includes an actual dark history of United States of America.

    As a viewer outside of USA, it's amazing to see the USA has a dark history of its own and is not afraid to make a tv show out of it. Kudos to whoever made this possible.

    Now imagine if people watched the show instead of rating every episode a 1.

    It might very well be the 2nd show to have a 10/10 rating for an episode.
