Just finished the first episode- it was excellent! I love that this is a continuation. I love that there are elements and characters from the graphic novel but it isn't trying to reproduce that story. I love, love, the worldbuilding, especially the twist on race, police anonymity, and white domestic terrorism. I love that Rorchasch has become a symbol for something I'm not sure he would have been a part of, because that's what happens to symbols. They get used and twisted for other agendas. The writing is sharp. Lots of information done through dialogue and action. No information dumps. I can tell this is in capable hands.
I love that I'm so baffled by the end. Obviously the guy in the wheelchair was the little boy from 1921, but it's hard to imagine he lynched Crawford. The white adopted kids has me scratching my head too. Like how did we get from a real past of oppression to this new world where there appears to be real black power. I'm so intrigued and invested.
I'm very curious about Ozymandias' play and what he's up to and what else they plan to use from the comic.
Ok I'm gonna space these out and watch one a day to really savor it.
So far two thumbs up.
