I love the Amazon series so I thought I would give the comics, the show is based on, a try. But oh god... So basically this whole thing is just trying to be gory, edgy, and offensive. I did expect all of this but I also thought there would be a good plot backing it but the story is just swinging from one gory idea to the next. The "plot" is so surface and none of the characters are likable at all, not even a good bad guy you can root for.
