    I already read the comics, so I'm better than all of you idiots (although be forewarned that Ennis is like 50% good politics and 50% contrarian nonsense idiot towards queer people and people of color)

      Having read (some of) the comics and watched season 1, the show is pretty different in it's tone and handling of themes.

      It puts greater emphasis on political criticism (around co-opting whistle blower's messages, nationalism, military industrial complex's influence on mass media, etc) even if it also falls into some problems (characters trust the CIA although they do get sold out, that scene when a rapist is raped but it's a sad moment)
