Starting my path down this road...2 episodes in and its great! I've read 20 or so issues of the comics years ago...so im roughly familiar with the main characters and where the story starts on that front...but ive forgotten quite a bit. Im really enjoying the humor and brutality in the show.

Honestly this show looks so awful to me, and I’m a huge fan of the superhero genre. What is with the ugly low contrast color grading? It looks like it was shot on a cell phone.

I'm mainly burned out on superhero shows and movies, so was pretty surprised at how much I immediately loved this series. Must be the humor.

Finished season 1....loved it. Developing a kind of crush on Starlight. Hughie and her are both great. The casting all around is solid and i like where the story is going and the developments thus far. The comedy is on point most of the time too and makes a character like the Deep go from repulsive to humorous.

I decided to wait to watch season 2 but am now four episodes into the second season and it’s great.
I think it’s one of the better looking shows out there.
I hated the comic books of this but the show is a substantial improvement.

I was going to give it a try but on reading 'brutality' in your post I'm of second mind. Is there a lot of blood and gore?

If you don't care for body parts getting flung around or heads exploding then i wouldn't recommend this one. You won't be able to avoid it.

Finished Season 2...theres just too much i love about the show. It rarely feels like theyre wasting time, and even if they literally are, the characters are so entertaining that i could watch them eat a happy meal and feel entertained. Homelander has got to be one of the most intriguing characters ive seen on television in a long long time. His scenes are gold. The story got really interesting here too...especially at the end of season 2.
My biggest question is will we ever get any information on the fly that buzzed around in several episodes? I assumed it was deliberate and maybe a superhero, or a 'bug' listening device...but we never got any clarity on that.

I felt like a lot of the scenes of the Boys themselves just sitting around chilling were wastes of time, but I may be alone on that. It could also just be that I'm way more interested in the Seven than the Boys. Homelander especially, yes. You'd think "evil Superman" would be tired and played out, but the writing and the actor keep him so intense and interesting.
