The show has nothing to do with the comic, the movie, or the established universe.
Just says "Watchmen" in the title.
It is a show about evil white supremacists fighting saintly black cops.
That's it.
That's not even true. The original Nite Owl even tells the story about how the cops started wearing masks because of the gangs wearing them. The Minute Men were born from masked police.

What I don’t get is why am I watching some local-level bullshite in Tulsa? Where are the Watchmen in the “Watchmen?” Are the costumed cops Watchmen or are they just cops? Is Sister Night a Watchman? Or just a cop? Are there local Watchmen that work with police or something? If so, are there hundreds of Watchmen? Pilot could have helped explain that.
There are no Watchmen anymore. At least not a group of "heroes". If you haven't seen or read anything else previously I could understand why someone would be confused.

Watched the first episode Thursday night. Wasn’t overly impressed so far. Like many have said if this series focuses solely on evil whitey then that’s just disappointing and lazy. A few questions that I have. Is the population of Tulsa now overwhelmingly black because of the events of 1921 or is it the entire country. It looks like the percentages have been flipped. The police department ( at least the meeting we saw) is 90% minority. WTF is up with the panda?
What’s the deal with Black Oklahoma? Is there reverse segregation in this reality? Why did the call it black Oklahoma and not just Oklahoma that happened to be put on by black people? I’m assuming Louis Gossett is the little boy that survived the race attacks in 1921. A lot more questions than answers and several decisions made by the show runners that seemed forced.

Thank you for answering my question. I just wanted to know the connection between the local costumed police characters and the Watchmen.
I only saw the movie, which I liked.

There were never any Watchmen.
The original characters are Charleton creations with the serial numbers filed off. Rorshach for The Question, Adrian is Thunderbolt, laurie is nightshade, the nite owls are blue beetles, blake is peacemaker, and jon is captain atom.
DC chickened out and refused Moore the Charleton names because evene though ghey werent using them then, DC didnt want to taint them.
Only the minutemen every existed as a team, with the crimebusters as a media event.
Watchmen is just a nane drop for the quote later on.
