See How They Fly

And so, a season (series maybe) finale that whilst not hitting the heights of some of the earlier episodes totally sticks the landing, pulling together the disparate threads of the plots into one totally satisfying conclusion.

With Dr Manhattan (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) successfully captured by the 7th Kavalry and preparing to take his power for their own, Angela Abar (Regina King) launches a desperate escape mission to rescue her husband. Meanwhile Lady Trieu (Hong Chau) sets her own plan into motion.

I write this review on New Year's Eve in 2019 so can look back with a bit of reflection. I honestly thing that this "Watchmen" show was the best thing I've seen this year. To say that I approached it with trepidation was an understatement, given the reverence the source material requires - but every decision made with the series was excellent. To attach where they did, to build on certain mythology but not others, to build it about present day tensions much like the graphic novel reflected the threat of nuclear annihilation at the time. It has been phenomenal.

As I say, this episode in particularlis perhaps not as stellar as some of its predecessors. It is naturally a little more concerned with pulling the plot together and wrapping it up than in high concept artistry, or time bending machinations. That is not to say it doesn't have a few of its own revelations. The statue of Veidt, for an example. But maybe a couple of those ideas felt underwhelming, the tower, for example, didn't add up to much. However, for a show produced and written by Damon Lindelof, this much of an all-encompassing conclusion was more than you could reasonably have expected.

What next then? Certainly, I don't want another series that picks up exactly where this finishes. If you absolutely have to, my preference would be a show leading up to the 1995 arrest of Nite Owl. I'm not sure I want anything more at all, to be honest, given that there's now two high quality aspects to live up to.

A wonderful way of ending the season. There was great music, scenes, acting, directing and the script for the whole series was great.

What I loved about the series ending was that it didn't rush to the end. It was all done very beautifully with Regina King as the main character.

I just have to say again that the music was one of a kind. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross made a unique music that had their trade marks.

The acting in the whole series was great. Jeremy Irons, Regina King, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Tom Blake Nelson and Don Johnson, they were all great in Watchmen.

I don't know how the screen writers are gonna make a season 2, but I'm rooting for more Watchmen. But I also can say that this could be a perfect ending for the film and the series, but I hope that it ain't.

The story started off confusing with the first several episodes but halfway it found a groove and has thus ended with another confirmation that the writing duo of Lindelof & Nick Cuse know what they're doing and have brought yet again another rich TV series where I can't wait to watch the next episode. Awesome last episode for the first season.

Loved the movie (2009). As for this series that came as a sequel I honestly didn't like the first 2 episodes, I was like "wtf! this is not Watchmen, not even close... But the rest of the episodes were brilliant and then I thought the first 2 were not so bad, they were essential parts in this great story. If there won't be a second season it's fine, the ending was perfect imo. If it will be renewed for 1 or 2 more season it would be great! 10/10 for this ep and 9/10 for the whole seas

It wraps up the main story it does leave a few threads left open and that's a little frustrating but this is a masterpiece on the same level of breaking bad or perhaps just shy of it do not read spoilers unless you've already see it cheers
