So who is planning on watching this on HBO this fall?
What's the angle here? Rehashing the original comic? A sequel? A reboot?

Well it's clearly not rehashing the comic.
It looks like a really terrible heavy-handed social commentary piece that simply uses Watchmen imagery, ideas, memes, etc. Of course, purely speculating. But that's the impression that I got.
Thought it was a sequel. Took place in the world after Manhattan killed rorshach and all those people.

Ditto.
Its looks like its set in the 2019 version of the Watchmen world.

It probably does just not right after the movie probably more like the far future that's why ozymandias is older.
It's from the guy who wrote Lost and Prometheus. I'm not going to take the chance. Even if starts out good (like Lost) it's probably not going to end well. It's going to ask a lot questions and either not give answers or give really stupid answers. I don't know why Alan Moore always gets such poor adaptations.
I wish the guy that did Fargo or someone else was doing this.

He also did The Leftovers more recently and that was an amazing series.
Hard pass! No thanks!
Huh.

Yes very much looking forward to it.
Looks terrible. Will not be watching.
Will try the first episode or so, even if it looks terrible.
New Featurette:

He did and it was, I'll be watching this once the season's over.
I'm well the **** over Watchmen adaptations, sequels, prequels, and Doomsday Clocks. Hard pass.
Besides, Lindelof's track record is garbage and all his press for this has been wretched.
