as someone who ended up kinda hating Watchmen but who loved Leftovers and most of Lost, I was nervous about this but I actually really enjoyed it? most importantly it tells a complete story in 8 eps no muss no fuss so it gets my piracy recommendation. it's a hard show to describe but you will probably know pretty quickly if it's For You or not. betty gilpin fuckin rocks. that's my slop report

don't want to say much about the politics except that there's zero Watchmen style copaganda this time which is nice, and also it will make tradcaths EXTREMELY mad if it finds any kind of audience at all

Edit: some lightly spoilery CWs for the curious:

  • lots of Catholic lore
  • a horse is imperiled
  • a few scenes of comic gore
  • child endangerment/injury
  • suicidal ideation
