Occasionally there is a tv show/episode or movie that is so exceptional it leaves you astonished. Thankfully, most of the exceptions are because they are just so good.
But even more thankfully it seems that on much more rarer occasion there comes a show that is so exceptionally bad that not even total incompetence can explain why; it is just plan astonishing that so many terrible decisions, contributions and outcomes can somehow come together to create something so inexplicably bad it is truely extraordinary and you are left astonished that it ever actually occurred.
This episode is so exceptionally bad it could only be explained by a phenomenal almost impossible occurrence of terribleness somehow coming together in an once in a million chanced event. Surely it is impossible to get everything so wrong and terrible in a single show.

Warning: Spoilers
There is a cheekiness to The Watch that gives a middle finger to those Pratchett fans who want the purity of his vision. Even when the series clearly states that it is inspired by characters created by Pratchett and not an adaptation of one of his books.
However seeing Vimes falls down a dune while walking heroically to the music of Crockett's theme or a giant hand appearing from a lake is not enough if the story is weak or the pace is stilted.
Captain Vimes decides to take the Wayne the talking sword off to a lake to destroy the sword. He plans to do this himself is short lived as other join him.
The sentient sword gives them all visions as they try to figure what is real and what is inside their heads.
It is a bloated attempt to give Vimes and his team backstories. It just deadens momentum.
