It was good but I was hoping for some even more outside the box Citizen Kane level of creativity that the graphic novel gives to the superhero genre and took more advantage of what you could do with animation like what “Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse” did. Synder’s adaptation has issues for me but it could have the best opening credit scene in film history and it works better for me when they take out the whole squid angle and the blame is put on Dr. Manhattan.
I really am glad you enjoyed this version of the story. Makes me feel more confident about getting it and watching it, myself. I personally really enjoyed Zack Snyder's adaptation. I still need to fully read the comic. Your take is interesting, because I have been listening to several other reviews, and this version seems to be really divisive, just like Snyder's movie. Several people have said they think Snyder's version is better and this animated adaptation is nothing more than an unnecessary cash grab.
I hold Snyders version as one of the best films ever made...this is also well done.
Beautiful to watch

I hated Snyder's version since it was too flashy and overly graphic which distracted from the story and themes. I liked this show.
What do you use
As a streaming platform
Does the adaptation include "Tales of the Black Freighter?"
It is. It's mixed into the story like in the comics
It is and it's glorious. So much better then Snyder's crap.
