Just starting to watch this new show.
Real noir Super Hero show. Anyone else?

I watched a couple of episodes. I am interested, but the missus isn't so I only watch an episode here and there. I think it could be pretty good.

Finished the season last night.
We thought it was excellent. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the guy who plays Homelander in anything else but I suspect we will see more of him in the future. His character gets deeper as the series goes and the actor does a great job.

Superheroes are evil and must be punished.
Why are they evil? Because they behave like Hollywood celebrities. Did Millar con Hollywood into making a show about beating up Hollywood types?

What happens when superheroes are aholes? I loved it and thought it a was nice break from everything is awesome.
Re: Homelander. The reviews I have read online tell me the show varies greatly from the comic. The show makes Homelander out to be cold and calculating. The comic makes him out to be a blithering idiot that cannot do anything right. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Another show that was somewhat similar (dark, super hero-y) that I enjoyed.
This one was a little more "odd" than The Boys Umbrella Academy.

I finished bingeing today. I can't wait for season 2.
Watched season 2 of The Tick. Sad to find out it was not picked up for season 3.

I stopped at Episode 2. Maybe a bit too dark for me...

I was happy to see a new season of the Expanse is now on going to be on Amazon. I guess they picked up the production of it. That will be nice to see with no commercials. It starts next month sometime.

 I couldn't figure out why they nixed Santa Clarita Diet either, I thought it was funny/well-written..Powered right through The Boys, it was great. As was Umbrella Academy.

I liked it a lot. Fleabag was great too.

I loved the show! To me it seem like a much more honest super hero story. Can't wait for another season!

This thread was not what I expected.
To me, The Boys - Amazon Prime means Clarkson, Hammond, and May...

We have been watching a lot of Prime and Acorn lately. Currently working thru Line of Duty on Acorn. These services have to be cutting into mainstream networks a bit but I doubt that it matters to them as people still lap up the commercial laden drivel they pass off as entertainment.
