Not OP, but I wanted to like it only I couldn’t bring myself to keep watching. I can’t remember if I stopped before the end of the first episode or part way through the 2nd. I completely failed to connect with any of the characters, the setting, the premise or the politics.
I don’t mind fiction that’s a vehicle for political statements - I like Alan Moore - but it felt like a transparent vehicle for needlessly edgy politics, rather than a beautiful vehicle for needfully radical politics like Alan Moore’s stuff is.
But I barely watched it so I know this is a pretty hot take.
Fair enough. I enjoyed it but there’s so much good television out there these days that there’s not much point forcing your way through something you’re not enjoying.
You didn’t like the watchmen tv show?

It’s one of the best single season shows ever done.
It’s also mostly Damien Lindelofs work, not Moore’s (for the show).
