A little disappointed by the finale which felt flat but overall I really enjoyed it. Homelander was played magnificently as was Starlight
Television The Boys

You mean the final episode as a whole? Because I'll defend the actual ending to the death
Yeah, it's a great first season. I assume Butcher's accent is deliberately bad as it fits in with the overall humour tone, plus it's mentioned in the show. Obviously Homelander and Starlight are the stand outs and are great.
I've been trying to watch Preacher as someone in here said it was better, but half way through season 2 I'm bored and thinking of stopping. Hopefully this fares better.

The episode yeah but I'm nitpicking tbh. It was solid from start to end for me.You mean the final episode as a whole? Because I'll defend the actual ending to the death
With Preacher it doesn't get any better, it just gets shitter. Stop now and instead go download the comics which are stunning. It's incredible to see how much they fecked up what should have been an easy home run for the TV.
Watched the opening two episodes yesterday and really enjoyed it. Definitely looking forward to watching the remainder of this show.
Best superhero tv show I've seen in a long while
And when you think about it, it's not even the "superhero" part of the show that makes it so great. They really have found a nice balance
I think it found a perfect balance of the "dark" side and light side. The dark side being what DC movies wanted, maybe not quite as dark as The Boys but still a bit like that in tone. But The Boys also has the comedy and lightness about a superhero world. Its like DC's darkness and in that world, it still had Marvel's comedy. Something like that
Yeah. I agree that. I have read the comics a little and they are much more hardcore than the show. The writers and directors have done well to use the books as a source while making their own version of the story
Now this is a very good scene
Oof, I had more or less forgotten about it. Absolutely brutal. And great for characterization of several of the most important characters.
They're filming in Toronto again. Wonder if I'll bump into Erin Moriarty
"You stay back!!"
Death by laser or by plane crash, not sure what's worseReached for next episode button last night and it wasn't there
Taken down, what was it?
Season 2 trailer, pulled by Amazon apparently.
Looks like they’re going even crazier than season 1!!
I was howling when it went through the windscreen. I think it's a show well worth a watch.
I'm nearly the end and I think its absolutely excellent.
Jennifer Esposito
I will finish Good Omens in a few days and then watch this again.
Not a single word spoken and yet I'm hyped for it.
Looks even more graphic than the first one! Love it
Looking great.
Sorry for bumping an old thread, but I don't think, opening a new thread for this is apt either.
I am not really into superheroes movies, like I do enjoy it, but it isn't something I look forward to, unless it is something involving Joker. But this series is fan-fcuking-tastic, like superhero movies aren't realistic, and looking for reality into them is pedantic and anal retentive, but if superheroes ever exist, this is more closer to the reality with all the collateral damages, corruption, mentally damaged supes and exploitation by corporates. Like no black and white, hero and villian cr@p. I think only Starlight was a pure hero like character among them all.
Who is that actor who played Homelander(I know I can google, but wanted to know if he has other works too), he was pretty good, and so was thar Starlight girl, especially in emotional scenes. Although the best actor for me was that actress who played that manipulative and conniving Ms. Stillwell.
Was second season planned? Like in current situation I can't say, waiting for second season, because it sounds too selfish and insensitive, but was a second season planned, because there are so many cliff hangers.
Edit: okay just saw a trailer of season two, when it is releasing?

Matthew Starr plays Homelander, he is in another show called Banshee which is excellent and he's also very good in that.
Thanks for the recommendation mate.
Just binge watched the first series. Excellent. Can't wait for next series but I'm afraid it will run out of ideas like my other fave series, Heroes, which really fell off a cliff. Sylar is probably one of my all time favourite super villains, and they messed his arc up too.
Really looking forward to season 2 - I was enjoying it immensely but what happened to Haley Joel Osment's character just blew my mind! - Hope the next series has more guest stars appear and make a similar impact in the show
I'm not certain but I'm pretty sure Heroes had no source material to fall back upon. The Boys does and significant quantities of it too.
Heroes was also badly affected by the writers strike which basically torpedoed the second season.
Oh, it's a full comic series. Just googled it. Nice.
Releasing on September 4
Great!
