I've read the comics, and trust me it's not a difficult read. They're fairly short. And they would have had much more potential if they had stuck to the comics. Instead we have this very boring, very woke kind of TV show. The acting and casting is terrible. The quality and budget of the show genuinely looks like a gem. However, I hated it. I couldn't even get past first season. All of it is eye candy. The jokes aren't funny, the actors look like they were hand picked by some ridiculous and absurd Netflix wokesperson. The plot doesn't actually have a storyline and if it does it very much so all over the place. I wouldn't recommend and I know that many people just like this show because of Gerard Way.
