I've not seen it but I'm sure Karl Urban rocks in it. He always rocks.

I expected this to be good, but it was far better than expected. Some nicely complex characters to make you see that most people are both good and evil. Well, except that one guy, he's pretty clear cut. LOL Season 2 will be interesting! It was renewed before it even released.
This show is outstanding! I watched the season finale last night. I really enjoy a show that does not do what you expect it to do. When you think, "I know what's gonna happen..." It doesn't! Looking forward to season 2.

Halfway through the season and enjoying the heck out of it. Nice to see it's been picked up for reason 2 already.
BE warned, this is not a show for the faith of heart. It is gory, violence, absolutely not political correct. But it is also awesome fun
I need to see this show and The Watchmen. Yes, everything I have been reading in non-spoiler reviews abut The Boys says it is a violent, dark, black comedy and more comments in this vein. My friend persuaded me to only watch the hijacked jetliner scene with the "superman" and "wonder woman" superheroes to the rescue. Oh my word, i could not believe how that played out! After seeing that clip and the trailer I am now avoiding all spoilers and clips until I can watch Season 1.

RE Watchemn, not really any spoiler as such in this section below, unless you regard the very mention of a character to be a spoiler.
I really enjoyed Watchmen for the first 7 episodes, but they really got Dr Manhattan wrong for those last 2. Still somewhat of an enjoyable series, but yeah the Dr Manhattan stuff is just nonsensical. YMMV obviously.
But yeah The Boys is a terrific series, I generally hate superhero movies but occasionally something good pops out. It has a terrific first episode. I knew it was going to be good when
Butcher is fighting the invisible guy, getting his ass whupped, until he spits blood onto him allowing him to see where he is

Another great one! We just rewatched season 1 and it seemed even better the 2nd time around. Lucifer next month on the 21st, plus it's renewed for a 6th season after this one now.
If I hadn't seen this thread I would not have bothered with this... watched all season 1, now into season 2. I'm not into the super hero, Marvel type films, never floated my boat... but this?... awesome!
I wasn't that thrilled with much of Season one, but I am really liking what I have seen so far in Season 2.

This show jumped the shark when they introduced the "supe terrorist."
The Christian bashing was ridiculous. The sad part was they used all the stereotypical tropes and didn't even try. Pathetic writers. Most of these Christian hating writers and showrunners haven't the slightest clue about true Christianity.

And they don't dare go after muslims, even though fundamentalist muslims make fundamentalist Christians look like party animals in comparison.
I'm just about decided that nothing new from hollyweird is worthwhile, just spend my remaining years rewatching the classics. And the occasional bright spot like "Infidel"

Yeah F4U, I really know what you are talking about.
All of a sudden the "we love lesbians" thing is creeping in...gays, trannies and who's know what is next.
So far still a giggle...when the gender bender crap takes over I'll ding it good in the reviews and move on.
I just want to see Homelander trounced.

That would be just fine with me Stormfront seems slightly immune to his powers by the looks of it. I love the Stormfront character, although she seems to be as bad as him.

[spoiler][/spoiler]There was a little blooper in the last episode, if I'm not mistaken. Homelander tells Butcher, "Why are you protecting the little #%&*$#? He just killed your wife!" But Homelander wasn't there to see that. How did he know?
