    Binged the whole thing yesterday, really enjoyed it across the board. A few dead spots in the middle but overall I really enjoyed it.....

    Watched 5 episodes last night and will finish it up today. It's been great thus far. I hope we get at least 3 or 4 seasons out of this.

    Comic ran for 70+ issues and I don't think they've adapted the whole thing, so I could see this running for 3 seasons.......

    Alright....I'm sold then.

    Also, I'm going to check out Future Man. I liked the trailer.

    Future Man is one of my absolute favorites ever. Boys first season was in the conversation too

    Finished it last night. Great series. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg really knows how to produce comic-to-TV stuff

    Future Man season 1 is amazing.

    We're 6 episodes in on The Boys... also very very amazing.

    An aside, I really didn't know much about Antony Starr before hand. Like nothing - just went to his IMDB and haven't watched any of those other shows. So far, he's really killing it as Homelander, to me. He's effectively playing a bipolar, and he plays each side of that character perfectly, imo.

    Just binged the last 5 episodes.

    I really enjoyed it. Lot of twists and reveals along the way to keep you interested.

    I wanted to enjoy this but they bash you over the head with the cartoonish left wing politics.

    Like a kid who comes home from his first semester and thinks he knows everything.

    Christians are awful hypocrites, military is evil, corporations are evil, blah blah blah

    Absolutely loved it. Great metaphores and analogies for a lot of valid issues the entertainment industry faces behind the scenes. Also loved Karl Urban; him and the guy who played Homelander nailed those characters to a teeeee! WANKERS!

    A show about honest Christians, friendly military, and an honest corporation would be lame AF.

    LOL. Exactly what I was thinking.

    Also Karl was in The Bourne movie.

    Thought the promotion looked cheesy AF

    Watched three so far. Been good.

    Eric kripke was the first show runner to supernatural.

    Looking forward to their payoff

    Edit: not cool with how they define nudity

    Crappy shows were popular when there were only 12 channels

    He's got Quaid's noggin with Meg Ryan's scrunchy little face.

    I was wondering why he's in front of a camera, but Hollywood...

    Can't decide which superhero first season was better.

    This, or Doom Patrol. Right now, I'm leaning towards Doom Patrol, but The Boys was really really good.
