The story nicely reconciles the psychic blast zone engineered by Adrien Veidt/Ozymandias (Jermey Irons) from the movie version and the giant alien squid from the "Watchmen" novel to induce fear and paranoia in humanity which was only short lived. The character of Reeves (Louis Gosset, Jr.) surfaces again later as the hundred five year old grandfather of Angela Abar (Regina King). As such, I thought it was very well done, even if it seems confusing during the early episodes, used to establish the origin of Will Reeves and how he became the first Hooded Justice. Although it takes its cues from the original graphic novel by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, this is not so much based on or a sequel to the original 2009 "Watchmen" movie, but a reimagining of the concept utilizing an alternate history. I've read quite a few of the reviews for this series here on IMDb and I think a lot of viewers are under a misconception.
