Graphic novel>TV series (so far)>MovieI wouldn't call it shocked. I was surprised. I think I'm through three episodes. I like it. I think it will get better once it finds its footing. I agree with your sentiments about the movie.
Although I agree on the lack of surprise death, I think the show has a lot of potential. My favorite part is that the main characters all seem to have depth. Through three episodes, it’s hard to tell who are the heroes, anti-heroes, and villains.
