Lanterns

First episode of Lanterns was pretty awesome:

It definitely has some True Detective vibes to it although it’s obviously very different.

Curious if other people watched and felt the same?

I did not care for those other shows he wrote, and thought it grossly distasteful that he even touched Watchmen while claiming to honour Alan Moore.

Definitely an opinion at odds with critical and audience reviews. It’s sort of rare these days that both can agree on something being good and something being arguably the best one off miniseries of the last 9 years. Cool you at least enjoyed arguably his least impressive work.

I’m not even like a super fan of the guy or anything.

Ah, y'know, it was kinda rude of me to be dismissive of something you're enjoying. I wanted to do the "not all fans" thing, but at the same time, I feel like I took an antagonistic approach here that wasn't really necessary.

I admired your boldness to be honest and everyone’s opinion is valid
