The Boys (Amazon Prime exclusive)
The Walrus:
I figured we should have a dedicated thread.
I'm about halfway through now, almost finished with episode 4. Started it last night, and wow, what a fun show. I wish it had a better name, and I don't like that most of the heroes are despicable, but there are so many shocking moments already that I thought were executed really well. 6 minutes into the first episode for example, that hooked me immediately. I'm already hoping for more seasons. Glad I started my free Amazon Prime trial in time for this!
I think Karl Urban is my favorite actor on the show. I just researched him because I recognized his face, apparently because he played Eomer in Lord of the Rings. I love his character.

Through six episodes. It is a fun, twisted....interesting show. Probably wrap it up tonight .

Love it! Finished it last night and was wishing for more. It gets really dark and the characters are pretty twisted. Best part is what finally happens to Haley Joel Osment. :o
The Walrus:
SPOILERS up to episode 7...
So I am LOVING this show... I love the whole bureaucracy and reality TV approach to managing superheroes and keeping their public images as pristine as possible. I also love how complicated the characters are and how the layers get peeled back with each episode, now I understand Homelander and co. were created to be superhumans and Homelander himself was basically a lab rat, but he infuriated me during that scene with the hijacked plane and how he didn't even try to save the 123 people on that flight. He sucks. I think the only supes I *don't* hate with all my heart are Maeve, Starlight, and Black Noir (if only because Black noir is little more than comic relief when he does show up, but that fight scene with Kimiko was pretty cool). Mesmer is a wimp.
Starlight has the best story in my opinion. She has great character development and a good arc, lots of obstacles to overcome and as a newbie she has to play smart but she sometimes tries to play a better hand than she actually has. Very excited to see where she goes. Also, Erin Moriarty is omg cute.
Billy is my favorite character on the show in general. Love him.

Finished. Cool show....looks like they have a larger story to tell judging from the way it ends. I’ll definitely be watching future seasons.
