How is there no thread on what is possibly the most impressive show of the year?

For something that could have been a disaster it has turned out to be a tour de force of performances and writing. The density of detail in each scene is amazing and built for multiple rewatching once all the reveals hit.
(for those who suffered the Watchmen movie, fear not. unlike zack snyder, the show runners understand the comic and are building from it to do something inline with the spirit of Alan Moore's work.)

One episode left in what is supposed to be a single season only show. It will be interesting if they try to add another season.

I liked the movie and I am not a superhero movie fan. And wow this show is weird. Probably have to watch it again.

I liked the comic and the movie, Moore isn't involved in the series, so I don't care about it :shrug:

Two words: Damon Lindelof.

So, Willnotwatchmen.
