The first two episodes are brilliant. The time spent on explaining and showing the "alternate reality" is not worth the effort. I enjoyed "Westworld" and the "Leftovers," and watched several episodes of each twice to catch up on the intricate story line. But not Watchmen, instead I found my self fast forwarding through the ridiculously long scenes with Jeremy Irons and his ex wife's telephone calls to the alternate reality. So half of the Watchmen gets a 10 and the other half a zero for an average of 5.
