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 |

Hilarious but so ****ing gross and uncomfortable. Really a pretty powerful scene and comment on nonconsensual sex.

I love that but I understand how it could be a tough sell for some guys. If nothing else, Rachel Brosnan’s cans are worth the price of admission for the first episode anyway. |

This show was pretty cool. Homelander was a good villain and Starlight is megahot.

It's not something I'd naturally be drawn to, except that I know Amy Sherman-Palladino is a showrunning powerhouse, but if nothing else you can marvel at how expertly it is put together.

As for the show at issue, The Boys. I just got started this past week. About 4 eps in so far.
It's a tad cynical for me, without the cleverness or any real twists to set it apart other than with the commitment to said cynicism. It's one thing to explore 'what if superheros were less than perfect.' It's another to hammer 'these superheroes exemplify the most crass and craven impulses set to high.' We get it Garth . . . [Seth, Evan, Eric], humanity is a shitpile. Every smile masks an evil plan and every pleasantry masks a deep resentment.

I was getting a Barry (that HBO show) vibe from the main actor guy in this show (the one that had his girlfriend die in the first episode).

This is one of those shows where seasons 2 and 3 are going to just kick righteous amounts of ass.
Shows with a large universe tend to spend the first season as a setup and if they can do that well, they just explode forward in seasons 2 and 3 before kinda coasting out as they run short on ideas. Occasionally you'll see something like Pinky Blinders were season 3 was a bit of a slow-down before rocketing forward in Season 4. But season 2 is almost always awesome. This is gonna be great.

Looking forward to it. This is the kind of thing HBO should have had for post-GoT.
