The Boys (Amazon)
This show was pretty cool. Homelander was a good villain and Starlight is megahot.

As for the show at issue, The Boys. I just got started this past week. About 4 eps in so far.
It's a tad cynical for me, without the cleverness or any real twists to set it apart other than with the commitment to said cynicism. It's one thing to explore 'what if superheros were less than perfect.' It's another to hammer 'these superheroes exemplify the most crass and craven impulses set to high.' We get it Garth . . . [Seth, Evan, Eric], humanity is a shitpile. Every smile masks an evil plan and every pleasantry masks a deep resentment.

I was getting a Barry (that HBO show) vibe from the main actor guy in this show (the one that had his girlfriend die in the first episode).

Looking forward to it. This is the kind of thing HBO should have had for post-GoT.

This is one of those shows where seasons 2 and 3 are going to just kick righteous amounts of ass.
Shows with a large universe tend to spend the first season as a setup and if they can do that well, they just explode forward in seasons 2 and 3 before kinda coasting out as they run short on ideas. Occasionally you'll see something like Pinky Blinders were season 3 was a bit of a slow-down before rocketing forward in Season 4. But season 2 is almost always awesome. This is gonna be great.

I really liked this series; I don't know much about the source material however it shows how people with abilities would probably behave, especially when they have been lab rats for their entire lives and have no real moral center or anything to prevent them from being as bad as they want.

^ There's a look at the new "hero" Stormfront. Supposedly she's going to rival Homelander in terms of power. Not sure if I like that. The fact that literally every body is terrified of Homelander is part of what makes the show so fun. |
