Its greatest rewards are the strength of its perspective, the depth of its humanity, and the risky creative swings it takes to create an entirely new story that also feels right at home in the world of Watchmen."
IndieWire - 100
"The series' scope is astonishing given its subject matter, and even more so given its relentless entertainment value. Through six episodes, "Watchmen" has already provided a bounty of intelligent theories to study and debate, but it's designed to be one helluva good time, as well."
TV Guide - 90
"The book gives anyone attempting to follow it up a richly realized world on which to build, but it's the ways in which this new series diverges from the source material that makes it so compelling."
THR - 90
"Relentlessly entertaining, odd and creative... Watchmen is a tour-de-force, no doubt, but there's a landing that definitely needs to be stuck."
Variety - 50
"To tackle the meanness and violence of history in a truly serious way — with superheroes or with mere magnificently brave mortals telling the story — demands a focus "Watchmen" simply lacks, and attempts to make up for with a tone of increasing dudgeon. What "Watchmen" sets out to do, taking the opportunity of an artwork perceived as unadaptable and writing a whole new story, is admirable. But both that original artwork and, more crucially, this story deserve better."
