Character Descriptions For HBO's WATCHMEN Series Surface and it Doesn't Sound Like a WATCHMEN Adaptation

Some interesting new information has surfaced for Damon Lindelof's upcoming HBO Watchmen series. The show is based on the iconic graphic novel created by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, but we knew that it wouldn't be a direct adaptation. 

Now, with the new information on the characters that have found their way online, we see that the series doesn't seem to be any kind of Watchmen adaptation at all. There is not one character mentioned here that I recognize. Here's what was posted by That Hashtag Show:

Angela Abraham: African-American female cop. Independent and intelligent, she's also a realist. She's married to Cal, with whom she has a daughter and is fiercely protective of them both.

Cal Abraham: African-American male who is the stay-at-home husband of Angela. While he seems at home as the king of his castle and being a loving husband and father, it's clear his past has a different story to tell.

Looking Glass: A good looking cop, the native Oklahoman isn't simple as his rural accent makes him appear to be. A top interrogator and behavioral scientist, he may also be a bit of a sociopath.

Panda: An ethnic desk cop, he's cynical and tough and puts his job first. Not a friend to many, he uses comedy to keep people at bay.

Red Scare: Mafioso, track suit wearing cop. His Russian accent lends to his abrasiveness.

Pirate Jenny: An androgynous and lustful bisexual cop, Jenny is an anarchist at heart.

Jane Crawford: The wife of the police chief, Judd, Jane is a veterinarian who's sharper than her guarded persona lets on.

Old Man: A former cop who is still an imposing figure despite his age.

Sounds like this Watchmen series is going to be about a bunch of Oklahoma cops? This is certainly unexpected! Maybe this series is just going to be set in different place in the Watchmen universe with different characters? Maybe the cops have it in for the costumed vigilantes? I'm not sure what's going on here, but this doesn't sound like a Watchmen series!
