Nooo.. he hated anyone indulging in their impulses, he hated the idea of sex in general, but racist?

That's the only thing I can't recall about him being. He was Black/white but action wise, not skin-wise

Guess you missed the line from his diary where he mentions "race traitors" lol

When the last episode ends on a cliffhanger, then the show needs to address it at the start of the next episode. If we are supposed to care about the story then the show needs to address the story more, and jerk itself off over its zaniness less.

The most frequently lauded show by the serial complainers ITT is a SyFy show, and yet they seem to have lost that audience. Odd.

i was referring more to the older style of Syfy programming on cable. Lots of this show looked kind of low budget and lovely considering this is on HBO. I haven't seen The Expanse.

The ratings were not bad, they were on par with another HBO drama prestige show, Big Little Lies (which has an all-star cast). That’s really good! And the finale had higher ratings than the premiere, which is also really good- people stuck with the show and even recruited new viewers through word-of-mouth.

Watchmen is a critical darling, which is also good for HBO. That usually leads to lots of awards, which drives the ability to recruit top talent for projects.

Game of Thrones was a perfect storm, it had lots of bloody violence, sex, and nudity, in a fantasy setting. Action Movies always draw better than serious dramas.

Watchmen was a thoughtful serious drama in a hard sci-fi setting. No one has super powers, with one exception, and he doesn’t use them in a typical way.

There is no Batman or Iron Man to root for. There are no action scenes with capes fighting. And there is lots of weird poo poo, like raining squid.

The show looks hard at America’s history of racism, another turnoff for casual viewers.

Game of Thrones is ‘Avengers: Endgame’.

Watchmen is ‘Phantom Thread’.

The two have very different performance expectations. Watchmen is excelling in its category.

(You can skip the buh buh buh if it was really popular it would be really objectively popular like Big Bang Theory response since that is not how Television executives think.)

im still thinking about this post lmao could this guy be anymore up his own rear end

i cannot fathom how someone can come away from this season thinking this show took a hard look at racism.

e: don't get me wrong - it certainly looked at racism in america but it didn't explore it in near enough depth and it hand-waves away racism in the police as being some bad apple infiltrators.

The problem was that it was a pretty good show about the Tulsa Massacre and racism written by a diverse team of writers, mashed into an extremely dumb show based on a half-understood comic book that had no point or reason in being remade and ran by an incredibly dumb man.
