Trivia
Second attempt at a Watchmen TV series. Terry Gilliam attempted an adaptation in the early 90s, but could conceive the epic story being possible only on television. Gilliam's vision went into pre-production with HBO and cast Robin Williams as Rorschach, Jamie Lee Curtis as Silk Spectre, Gary Busey as the Comedian and Kevin Costner as Nite Owl. The project ultimately dissolved after HBO failed to provide a large enough budget for Gilliam's vision. Gilliam himself later claimed afterwards that an adaptation would've been "unfilmable" anyway.

Goofs
Numerous characters say "calvary" instead of "cavalry" when referring to the Seventh Kavalry.

Crazy credits
Each episode title appears onscreen as a sign or in the background of a scene.

What every true fan of Watchmen deserves

So aparently everyone is trashing this show because of the race issues? Come on people, now taking that aside, this show has really started strong, respecting the characters of the original graphic novel but also introducing new ones, and if you're a big fan of Watchmen, you will love the references, can't wait for the next episode.
