As someone who has not watched the original movie, I was very interested to see whether or not this has as good as the infamy around the original. I was proven mostly correct. Whilst not perfect, this movie is drenched in atmosphere and attention-to-detail it's setting, music and narrative. The only major fault I could find is that some of the character arcs felt forced for the sake parallels and to reach that point in the plot. Some characters deserved way more screentime than what they were given and some were given too much screentime when they did not need it.

Overall, I would recommend this movie highly to anyone who enjoys musicals or good movies in general.

I absolutely love the worldbuilding in this series. But the fundamental ideas were done far better in the sequel comics, this is by far the worst portrayal of Rorschach's legacy compared to Doomsday Clock and Rorschach (comic by King). There's no dissection of his original beliefs, they took a minor fan theory then ran it into the ground so hard it made the 7th Kavalry generic after episode 2.

I think this show would have benefitted from adapting some of the material from the comics, such as the 2nd Rorschach or psychologist's son in Doomsday Clock who was on a similar level of complexity as the original character in terms of backstory and morality.

I am so fricking hyped. This arc as been a perfect adaptation of the manga and added stuff that has greatly improved the experience. The next few episodes are going to be insane!
