‘Watchmen,’ a TV hit for HBO, was ’embarrassing’ for the comic’s creator Alan Moore, a person close to the show told BuzzFeed News at Saturday’s Comic-Con International. “People are embarrassed by it. It’s ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic. He’s a comedian. Alan (Moore) is a writer. They were never going to make it. They weren’t gonna get the kind of audience he’s getting.”
Indeed, the reaction to the program has been mixed.
But the reaction to the show on social media appears to be even more mixed. Just look at the comments on the post featuring the video.
The backlash to Watchmen, a TV hit for HBO is embarrassing.
The comments are mostly positive, but a few are the kind you might expect from someone who’s seen The Matrix, but not The Matrix, with a special appearance by Johnny Depp! I’ve seen The Matrix. That movie was way before the idea of a “dark” reboot.

It is refreshing to see a program like this get good ratings and awards. Hopefully more shows like it will come out. However, I think it’s important to see what happens with it when people actually watch it.
