I loved the graphic novel, liked the movie but could never understand the fanboi love of Rorschach.
The TV show took the ambiguous morals of the book and recast it into a racial struggle and more and just hit it out of the park. Best TV series I've seen in a long time, probably since Game of Thrones in its prime, or maybe even Six Feet Under.

And in the case of Hooded Justice, they improved on the source material tremendously.
