You don't need to.

They explain anything you need in the show.

Not always in a straightforward manner. It definitely helped to know the source material. I think I would have been completely lost without knowing some things already.

If you didn't read the comic you might like the show. If you read the comic, I am almost certain you will hate the show.

I read the graphic novel, and loved the show.

Also, JoRR there is a web site link posted in this thread that the creators/writers of the show used to help further explain things.

The mark of a good show is the homework it assigns you.

I don't think the Petey files are necessary reading.

They were cool to kind of give an idea as to where the show was going next week, but nothing you need is there.

I didn't watch this dumb show but I've loved the articles framing the decision to not make a second season as HBO respecting the creator's wishes.

Do they explain why it sucks? I tried to watch this. Absolute garbage.

I think I only saw the majority of one episode. I really liked that episode. It was the one that told the story of Dr. Manhattan's relationship. I thought the creators did an excellent job in visually explaining how he experiences time and the concept that there is no past, present and future but that everything occurs all at once and is constantly occurring.

One of the best reviewed shows of the year.

Yep.

One of the best episodes of tv I’ve seen in a long time.

“A God walks into a bar” is still one of the best episodes of TV I’ve ever seen.
