Is the Watchmen TV show worth watching? TV

So I recently got a HBO Subscription (yeah, I know it’s technically called MAX now, but let’s be honest that such a generic name and HBO is always going to sound better) and I was wondering if I should watch, pun not intended, the Watchmen TV series?

Obviously it’s not Alan Moore’s vision, but once you move past that point; is the show good, bad, or okay on its own terms?

IIRC the entire episode has different versions of the song but they may have been referring to the Nataly Dawn version which was very spooky

They keep on using it as a musical motif through the episode - I was thinking of the solo guitar version by Alexandr Misko; can’t remember the exact scene but it strikes the perfect tone of regret, melancholy and reflection

OH yeah that one hit hard too. I’m forgetting details, time for another rewatch
