The Boys (Amazon)
This looks great and I love Karl Urban in everything he shows up in .
[Red Band Trailer] fuck superheroes. Why? Because when people score limitless power, they become a**holes. Drunk with power and fame. That’s where The Boys come in. from u/TheBoysTV |

Now, like Dane said, he wasn't enjoying the season enough to ignore the politics of it, which I can understand.

There is also a huge difference between engaging individuals in any topic and doing so with a tv or movie screen.

It is a shame that they are bringing politics into it; I just try to ignore that and be distracted from all of the fun that is everyday life. |

In this case, I just didn't feel like the score was important enough to continue watching a program that had completely lost my interest after 3 episodes, although I continued through episode 5. Hearing the political slant just gave me the third reason to discontinue watching, although if the show is renewed for Season 3 and has glowing ratings, I'll probably jump back in at some point. But as of today, I feel the showrunner completely missed the mark with Season 2. Not only were the first 5 episodes dull and boring, IMO, they didn't really push the narrative forward. And his decision to release each episode weekly as opposed to dropping all eight episodes on Day One, was a serious miscalculation, especially during a pandemic. I'm probably different than most people when it comes to their entertainment choices but when a showrunner insults the audience, I'm generally out and have no impetus to continue supporting him or her (or they or them or whomever). |

The political stuff doesn’t ruin the show for me, but I did feel like it too heavy in the last episode which was otherwise the best of the season.
I still enjoy the show either way. |

Admittedly, I started The Boys late and didn't start the series until a few weeks ago. So I flew through S1 and the first 5 episodes of S2 before being ground to a halt. As I said before, I enjoy it enough to not let the politics bother me, but if I was on the fringe, I'd probably bail on it.

Agree. Episode 7 was a bit over the top. Not enough to bother me, but they went a little too heavy. Especially considering that on actual tv and other media, we are now being bombarded with politics non stop.

Aya is drop dead gorgeous I think, and she's charismatic as all ****. It's not very often you get both of those traits in one person. I would marry her, along with Karen Fukuhara. It's a shame they have to be enemies in The Boys. Last edited by Mahomes_Is_God; 10-08-2020 at 02:14 AM.. |

https://www.reddit.com/r/TheBoys/com...ront_will_die/ And that mostly involves the dynamic between two characters; Stan Edgar and Stormfront. And there is a whole hell of a lot more story arcs going on than just that. You have the Butcher family stuff, Maeve and her girlfriend stuff, the Church of the Collective stuff, Homelander mentally deteriorating, etc. This season has been so much more broad and challenging than the 1st. I'm personally loving it. I do wish they would tone down the political bullshit, though. It detracts from the otherwise fantastic storytelling.

I had to look her up to see who she was. Butterface. Body is not horrible. As always, though, what one guy sees as attractive another may not see it at all. I love that system; there's something for everyone.
