I had a good time reading this, first and foremost. The action was great, there's some gorgeous panels in here and the plot is wacky but fun. However, at least compared to the first seasons of the Netflix show, I find the characters quite unlikeable. This gives the comic an even darker tone than the series but it's just not as fun in my opinion.
