Oh lordy.

side note, after watching this on youtube, the crisis on infinite earth trailer played... it seemed pale and lifeless by comparison to the boys trailer.

Season 2 looking good so far.

I'm not seeing a dip in quality from S1.

Keeping it brief for spoiler reasons.

Not happy about the weekly release schedule. As are many others it seems.

Some fans are not happy about having to wait for new episodes.

Having spent the last sixty years having to wait a week between episodes the release schedule does not bother me at all.
Even if a shows entire season is released at once I do not binge, I actually enjoy anticipating a new episode

 

[Psab keel]

Man this show is intense. We just watched the third episode of Season 2. The release schedule is something to get used to again after having the convenience of binging an entire season in a sitting or two.

I have no problem waiting, but my own schedules arent suited for week by week releases.
I'm not needing to binge the whole thing, but when I get a chance I could knock a couple out at a time. There'll be periods where I'll be building up episodes until I can grab an opportunity to see them.
Wouldnt bother me if it was regular TV, I'd just deal with it, but I'm paying extra for this service.

The release schedule is no big deal. Gives me something to look forward to

 

[Laspector]

Well, I'm still going to wait until it's over to watch it.

For me, waiting to watch it is no big deal.

I am beginning to feel sorry for The Deep- that guy can't catch a break

 

[Psab keel]

In a sense yes, but the guy is such a dolt. Hopefully he does something right in his life and finds a way to help kill Homelander. The actor who portrays him is so good though and walking that line is honestly a real talent. I've been very impressed with his performance.

He is such a good performer I can’t stand that Supe look on his face, even out of costume

 

[Psab keel]

Speaking of which the actor who plays Homelander, man that guy deserves an Emmy. They way he can switch from phony charm to icy death is seamless.

Agreed. and he's so different in real life too. With a lot of actors you don't see much difference between themselves and their characters but this guy both looks and acts so differently from Homelander it almost makes you believe that Homelander is a real person. He's lucky that he looks nothing like Homelander, otherwise he'd probably get a lot of grief from random people who see him and can't tell the difference between an actor and the character(s) they play.

If you like him as Homelander you should watch an older series called Banshee. He is just as good in that.

I loved Banshee. But it took a good few episodes of the Boys for me to realise it was the same guy!

 

[mrwax]

Such a good show, I kind of like the weekly releases. All the acting is first class, but Homelander is certainly one of the standouts. Banshee looks interesting too, I'll have to check it out.

 

[DARKSIDE72]

This is one of the best shows on tv.

 

[Richard Baker]

Am I a bad person for being disappointed when Homelander's slaughter of the protestors turned out to be just a personal fantasy...

Just found the companion show, Inside The Boys on prime.
Its a bit of a Talking Dead vibe, but quite good seeing some of the actors chatting.

I try to avoid the actors chatting thing, introduces too much real world into that fictional universe I am trying to lose myself in.
