As a predecessor to Alan Moore’s Watchmen, Damon Lindelof failed, unable to mirror the moral ambiguity and depth of the story which inspired him. The events of this finale leave the world of Watchmen exactly where we began. Will was only partnering with Trieu because Manhattan told him to, and Veidt is … arrested by the FBI? In this show, the FBI is presented as a flawless force for good, and Veidt as having finally faced justice. HBO’s Watchmen was consistently entertaining, delivering surreal sights and building a unique world, one that was still reeling from the attack of the alien squid.
