The description says it's a modern-day retelling. It looks more like a sequel, or a complete reimagining. I don't see anything in here that looks like it came from the graphic novel.

What... THE crap...
Without the name and logo, I... I don't even know what just happened on my computer...
Watchmen's whole thing is "what if superheroes existed in the real world". This looks like a series about a back woods cult. Why use the Watchmen brand (which I already wonder how strong that is for most viewers these days) and not tap into what Watchmen was about?
Unless this is one of those teasers that really says almost nothing about the nature of the final product, I'm predicting a major failure and a TON of head-scratching from both viewers and critics.

It looks interesting, but as has already been said, it doesn't seem to have much to do with Watchmen. I would say I'll check it out, but it being on HBO worries me about what kind of content will be in there.
