Anyone catch the first episode of Watchmen?

I was a bit sceptical but it seems to have potential.

Cool, I'll give it another couple of hours and see. Even more so for Watchmen though, I'll be waiting til the end of the season and will only give it a go if the feedback from it is excellent. As much as I respect Alan Moore and as much as he might hate me for saying it, I thought the movie was really well executed.

The movie was v cool. The Boys I really enjoyed, well worth a watch. I'm waiting aswell for more feedback on the Watchmen series. Time is getting more and more precious so I'm really picky with series these days.

Ya have to watch watchmen for Trent reznors score alone. Song choice and music is savage. First episode was very well executed. And I love the movie.

Finished season 3 of Goliath on Amazon and I'm in no rush for season 4!

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Not a single declination of "If you don't X I'm gonna shove your Y so far up your ass you're gonna Z" ever sounds funny or smart. The Boys has at least three of these per episode. Atrocious dialogue but otherwise decent enough, apart from being an obvious mash-up of Watchmen (superheroes as mental fuck ups) and X-Men (anti-mutant sentiment).

As far as I know the boys was wrote as an answer to that quote in watchmen "who watches the watchmen.

[Pedrito]

The Boys was written by Garth Ennis from Norn Ireland who also wrote Preacher. The Preacher series was muck but I remember picking up the comics many many moons ago and they were brilliant. Read quite a bit of The Boys but ended up leaving it because, yes, the humour can possibly be a bit dated by now, despite the comics being quite new. Very 90's feel to the humour, if you get my drift. That said, I really enjoyed the series. Definitely worth a watch, loved the Homelander and Hughie is an enjoyable character too.

I watched Three Girls today.  Incredible story.

Watching season 2 of american gods.

The bit where mad sweeny gets picked up by the 'rockers' on the tour bus.. his face when he realises they're a christian rock band

Darklands is comically bad  .

First episode of Watchmen. Hmmm give it another episode or so then decide on following or ditching.
Dublin murders. So poor, day time soap opera levels of awfulness. 

[Pedrito]

Watched the first Watchmen, couldn't help it. Definitely not convinced. Very odd vibe to the whole thing. I ditched Preacher after 4 or 5, this could go earlier.

[Carnage]

I have it (Watchmen ep. 1) on the box at home, I'll get to it eventually. Might wait 'til there's a bit more feedback, as others are doing.

Om a related note, has anyone read any of the prequel comics? Was in Sub City today and was tempted to grab a few, but I went for some of the 'new' Sandman collections instead.

I watched the first episode of Dublin Murders and it was poor.  I intended to check out the second episode before throwing in the towel but didn't bother in the end.  Pity.  There was a bit of promise in it,  I think, but it all felt a bit half arsed or like they couldn't decide on a direction.  Parts of it had a nice Nordic Noir look and feel but then they had the police chief from fucking Lethal Weapon thrown in.  It didn't add up.
