Do I enjoy this series so far? Sure. Do I think it's trying its hardest to be as boundary-pushing as possible? Yes, to its detriment. I haven't seen the TV series (idk why) but it sounds like it's toned down to its strength.

I have volume 3 already so I guess time to read that, once I finish the other book due back at the library soon LOL.

Stick to the TV version kids. It's less misogynist, racist, and homophobic than the comics.

I thought this series might be trash after I read book 1, but this book made it an open and shut case.

Thus ends the terrible road into the brains of men who who hate women and think it is funny and edgy to be racist and homophobic. And I would put money on it that, when you call them out on their trashness-- they would probably try to explain all the reasons that they and their work are in fact NOT these things, because it is SO over the top-- don't you get it, we're making fun of those who ARE those things. But that's just not going to be true, now is it?
