Overall, a clumsy "blaxploitation" version of the Watchmen story. However, there are some good moments: episode 6, for example, has some great direction and works as an interesting, stand-alone film in itself. Alternative history fiction is always alluring, as you can talk about certain contemporary issues from a (cross-dimensional) distance. Sadly, the creators of the show focus to much on connecting the dots with the source material, that they lose that special
insightfulness offered by the genre .
