I read Watchmen roughly 30 years ago while I am in college. I was a foreign student and not familiar with America pop culture. I thought comic was for children and I was dead wrong. In addition to Watchmen I also read the Sandman by Neil Gaiman and I became a devoted fan. I think Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Frank Miller and others have demonstrated to the mature readers that graphic novels can be equally profound and sophisticated.
2009 I watched the Watchmen movie, it was an adequate adaptation but did not add too much to the original work. I was happy to see it on the big screen.
Then this TV series has added multiple layers to the original universe and made it interesting. It was great fun to take Alan Moore's story for a ride and came up with an original story. My hats off to Mr. Gibbons and thank him for an enjoyable season of fun!
