![]() ![]() Moore explained that Lindelof sent him a package and a letter while production started and, well, he wasn’t happy with even being contacted in the first place. In an interview with GQ, Moore didn’t hold back in calling it “embarrassing” that he was asked for feedback on the most recent adaptation. Except in the mind of Moore, who this week continued to criticize the work and expressed frustration that he was even bothered for his input on the show. It kicked all kinds of ass is what we’re saying here. And all of it worked to the tune of 11 Emmy Awards, including a win for Outstanding Limited Series and acting nods for Regina King and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. There were changes that delved into systemic racism, and the role of law enforcement, and also added a surprising amount of levity to the proceedings. Moore has not been shy about anything, especially in his disappointment with the 2019 HBO limited series which, unlike the uneven and lengthy 2009 movie of the same name was a significant departure from the original source material. And then there’s Alan Moore, who created the critically-acclaimed Watchmen comic series and absolutely hates the Damon Lindelof adaptation that aired on HBO and was met with near-universal praise. Some creatives will never be satisfied by their output, let alone the way it is received by others. Plenty of writers hate to read their old work, or think they could make it better in hindsight. ![]()
