I Watch TV: Watchmen
This nine-part series takes seriously the idea of the original Watchmen comic being science fiction. It also takes seriously the idea in Watchmen made by a white supremacist character about masked vigilantes being heirs to the Ku Klux Klan (later expanded on by author Alan Moore in interviews). And it takes seriously the idea that the trauma that creates superheroes, and villains, expresses itself in weird ways, not just in putting on a mask and punching criminals.
There are also some good jokes.
Watch This: A state of the art superhero TV mini-series with things to say about love, power, America and time. Works even if this is your first experience of Watchmen apparently.
Don’t Watch This: If anything about superheroes seems a waste of time
