It's a good show but it feels like it has barely anything to do with Watchmen. The main villain was so weak compared to what the comic was going for, and the main character is a raging asshole while the show acts like we're supposed to be sympathetic to her.

So… like the comic?

That's what they were going for, but missed completely. In the series it feels like she gets rewarded for being that way, the ending especially sucked.

rewarded

You are assuming a “just world” framework that is explicitly rejected by the work.

ending especially sucked.

I thought it was very tastefully done. But that’s obviously a matter of taste.
