This video essay hit all of the nails on the head. Felt this in my soul. Just a *few* of the points that really hit home: "It's an important show." "...carried through the LEGACY OF PAIN AND INJUSTICE." "...the history of oppression and the legacy THAT'S STILL FELT TODAY." "...sometimes you have to be uncomfortable to empathize with someones's pain." "...and the necessity of *REPRESENTATION*.... 'She looks like me.'" Dobrá práce, Michal Zak. Brilliant & poignant analysis.
i cannot think of a TV show that I have enjoyed more - exceeded my extraordinarily high expectations following the graphic novel and film. great analysis!
The only canon Watchmen sequel is this show. It goes in directions that show that Lindelof had a real story to tell. I wish I could but a graphic novel version of it so I can put it on my shelf next to original Watchmen.
"With such a complicated structure" Dude, if that show was complicate for you you better never get to close to DARK. Although COMPLEX would be a way better word here. Complicated and Complex are like tacky and cheap
YEAH ITS CALLED DARK ITS A SHOW ON NETFLIX YOU PROBABLY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT. IT FOLLOWS THE RESIDENTS OF A SMALL TOWN CALLED WINDEN AS THEY DEAL WITH THE MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCES OF THE TOWNS YOUTH IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE CONFUSING ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED INTERSTELLAR SO ITS A BIG TURN OFF FOR A LOT VIEWERS SO JUST A WARNING HEY WAIT WHERE ARE YOU GOING I HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED TALKING ABOUT JONAS'S FAMILY TREE WAIT COME BACK WE CAN TALK ABOUT A DIFFERENT SHOW HAVE YOU HEARD OF RICK AND MORTY IT FOLLOWS THE CRAZY ADVENTURES OF A MAD SCIENTIST GRANDPA AND HIS GRANDSON AS THEY GET INTO ALL KINDS OF WACKY ADVENTURES THE JOKES REQUIRE MODICUM OF INTELLIGENCE TO UNDERSTAND BUT I'LL WALK YOU THROUGH THEM WHY DON'T YOU COME BACK TO MY PLACE WE CAN WATCH A COUPLE OF EPISODES I HAVE THE FIRST 3 ON BLU-RAY. WHATS THAT WHAT CAN YOU SPEAK UP RICK AND MORTY IS ON WHAT? OH ITS ON HULU YEAH I DONT LIKE HULU THE SHOWS AREN'T SMART ENOUGH FOR ME.
Stop using the word whitewashing incorrectly. It has an actual definition. Just because you were too lazy to look it up and thought you would sound cool using it the way you did does not make it so.
This video perfectly encapsulates what makes Watchmen a masterpiece
Yes, the comic was a masterpiece; but the show was sadly trash.

Dobrá práce, Michal Zak. Brilliant & poignant analysis.
The scene with will and Angela brought tears to my eyes. Just remembering how emotional episode six was moves me. A modern masterpiece.

Not only does this video provide a lot of insight, but the editing is so dope! You really did the show justice.
The EDITING on this is INSANE
More video essays about the Watchmen series. MORRRRRRRRRRRE.
Episode 6 ... masterful!
Wow, this breakdown is perfect!
HBO is KING
Perfect video. Makes me wanna rewatch the show.
DC at its best!!

season two please!
How And why ? It fits perfectly into one season.
A 2nd season would ruin what watchmen is. It’s not some recurring thing, it’s a message for a certain time.
8k views for a review of a masterpiece, millions of views on garbage entertainment, we really live in an unjust world
Touche
Did HBO just make a video about how great their show is? Jesus Christ

They used the term correctly.
The art of ruining a perfect story.
