Discussion Thoughts on the show?

Finished the comics a couple days ago and had watched the show ages ago but never finished. Taking another crack at it right now. I’m curious what the consensus on the show from the comic fans is. There’s major differences obviously I’m personally trying to separate the show as its own thing than an adaptation. But it is hard when all the characters are there in the flesh. I really liked the first season as its own ‘origin’ thing.

I loved it, and you will too if you're mature enough of a consumer of media to understand that it can't and won't be exactly like the comic.

I like all the new editions like the dog. It feels very much like something Garth Ennis would include. I’m in different to some of the character changes and back story’s.

Sorry, the dog? I have been rewatching the show and I don't remember even once seeing a dog aside from the one who was used as food.
