Here are the great TV shows of this Golden Age:

[IUFG]

I stopped watching after the fiery Arab god guy shot his flamin' bolt up the Taxi Drivers a*se. Too gay for me but I understand that you enjoyed it very much.

Yes, that was an unsavoury seen, it has to be said. And I do hope that was a prosthetic. Mrs IUFG got a little hot under the collar and I felt a little (ahem) under equiped.

Still, Bilquis shoving blokes up her fanny was, erm, interesting!

The Wire is a shocking omission.

Finally worked out who Eddie Nketiah looks like ie Marlo.

[Ash]

Yes, different matter altogether. The French consider them serious socio-political satire, rather than schoolboy comedy.

I took it as both. The plucky locals standing against the arrogant oppressor empire, in this case a pan-national superstate, is a scenario many peoples should be able to identify with.

[Burney]

Boardwalk Empire started to drag a bit after the second series, didn't it? Plus his bird was a disappointment.

My brother in law's brother directed many episodes of that. I said much the same to him. He took it well and pointed out that he didn't write the scripts.

What have the Romans ever done for us, eh?

Or Brussels. Or the other Rome.

Had that 'enry the 8th in the back of the cab once.

The Wire - saw one, didn't like it.

Six Feet Under - is that the one about the undertaker family? Saw one, didn't like it.

Band of Brothers - old, man.

Also missed out the excellent Deadwood, and as an outside punt, Black Sails..

[Arsenal Alcoholic Review]

I'm not sure that's the case. I think it covers the entire duration of the Watchmen mythology from the Minutemen prequels, the individual character series to the actual graphic novel itself. Could be wrong.

If done correctly it could be incredible TV.

You wouldn't think that from the trailer.

It was funny seeing one of the men, in a later episode, floating around in her vagina induced dimension with a boner and permanent smile.

There's some BTS footage that has Hooded Justice featured. He's from the prequels. Also there's a clip in that trailer of a fairground. Very prominent in Minutemen. Maybe it is set directly after the events of Watchmen with flashbacks. Anyway, I'm looking forward to it.
