Two episodes deep now and this show is still so much better than I ever thought it would, or could, be. I might have liked episode 2 even more than the pilot. It's well-written and nuanced in ways that remind me of the source material, which is something I never thought I would say. The constant but seamless world-building, the wide array of genuinely compelling characters, the pervading aura of dread and conspiracy...it is in many respects an incredibly faithful follow-up, and yet has also (necessarily) forged an identity and purpose all its own. Spoiler: The way this episode made in-universe fiction part of its content in the "American Hero Story" segment reminded me a great deal of some of the narrative devices in the original, while also seeming like a hilarious riff on Snyder's gratuitously violent version, and the whole sequence with almost-certainly-Ozymandias directing The Watchmaker's Son adaptation of Dr. Manhattan's origin and blithely incinerating one of his clones (or something) was spectacular. It's faithful to the density of the comic and there's so much to unpack per episode - the exact opposite of binge television and I love it. Naturally, Trent & Atticus bring it and match the quality. Hoping it stays this strong!
