I haven't read any comic books (outside of picking up a few Spawn comics to draw from, as a kid), but I have seen the Watchmen movie. I really like the movie, but I seem to the the odd man out, on this show.
After watching 6 episodes, I still had a difficult time caring about anything happening in the show. I think it was due to the fact that I didn't know anything from the comics, which in turn made it hard to find any of the characters sympathetic, and I couldn't find anyone to identify with, so I couldn't get emotionally involved enough to care. I even started fast forwarding though some of the Hooded Justice shit because it was putting me to sleep.
I also felt the same way about The Leftovers and only made it through 6 episodes before giving up on it, so maybe it's something about Lindelof's writing.
But I kept watching and with episode 7, finally started to gain some interest in where it is going. So, now, it looks like it might pay off, in the end, and be more enjoyable a second time through (if it finishes strong).

we won't know until 2 more weeks whether they stick the landing or not but so far its really good. so good that i'm forced to admit that maybe Lindelof isn't a giant fuck bag for Lost, and after Watchmen ends I will probably go watch The Leftovers which everyone always says is good but I ignored because Lindelof made it

If you do watch The Leftovers, just know that the mystery of the Sudden Departure is not the point of the show, and don't expect it to be explained.

Wait til it's over and see the reactions. It's still Lindelof.
The Leftovers is a waste of time.

In a way Lost, the Leftovers and Watchman have the same theme for Lindelof in that it's just focused on people dealing with "loss". He's almost getting to be an auteur of this medium, love him or hate him.
The Leftovers is actually really fucking good but as already noted by
Rengak
there are no explanations for what happened as that's not the point of the show after the first season.

He said something about sensing her total lonliness or something. I figured it was due to that but idk.
