Yeah it seems as though we won't get the whole split personality is he/isn't he mental part of the story now. I just hope they somehow write in the Little Nina russian story arc
The Boys (Amazon Prime)

- Start date
Banshee has got some of the most visceral violence i've seen on any show in recent years. The fight between the indian girl and the amish butler is just insane.
@danoliver1 Unsure, this isn't in the comics.
@ElliorR Considering some of the other things that Homelander does in the comics, the latter you posted there is quite tame. 
Although not illustrated, Homelander has raped children and babies and there is even a picture of him ripping a baby apart with his teeth. Although that last one might have been Stormfront, not entirely sure.
@Uncle Petey
I could have course be wrong as i'd read the series fairly late each night before nodding off to sleep.
I thought that was just the rape of Butchers wife which he absolutely doesn't remember, I had assumed most of the other despicable acts were genuinely him?

Banshee is excellent, sure it's a touch cheesy but roll with it and it's hugely enjoyable. I said a few pages back, it has some of the most visceral violence i've ever seen in a TV show.
Spoilers of course if you choose to watch but no need to watch til the end if you like what you see. It's a great example of the superb choreography and camerawork in the show.
There is probably 4/5 seasons of solid material from the comics despite being 12 volumes. There's a very distinct lull and drop in quality during volumes 5-8 ish.
I am a little disappointed with the huge divert they've taken away from the comic at the end of S1...comic spoilers follow
Namely that Butchers wife seems to have happily had an affair. One of the darkest moments of that series, let alone any comic series is when Butcher wakes to find the foetus has ripped out of his wife and he has to beat it to death
They've either got a great idea that's gonna be as good as/better than the comic or they've **** the bed and written themselves into a corner.
I don't mind deviations from the source material but i'm genuinely a bit disappointed the different direction they've taken with Butchers wife.
Less than a year iirc.
Producers on this went vocal on why it's weekly and I absolutely agree with them. I detest binge watch mentality, it's akin to junk food and not really taking in anything you watch.
Shame there are so many idiots who review bombed it for a weekly release instead of all in one go.

Nope, idiots genuinely review bombed based on that decision.
Agreed but we have a younger generation with increasing limited attention span and dropping shows in one go doesn't help that mentality. If it's there, folks will binge it. It's similar to the whole social media/likes dopamine response and wanting instant gratification without spending any time investing in anything.
I generally find if I really like a show and i'm invested in it, I absent mindedly limit my watching of it, maybe 2 episodes maximum per day. The lower in quality a show is, the faster I tend to binge watch it. I'm probably just weird though
Same as good food, don't just wolf it down, take time, savour it, enjoy the experience.Rested on the success of S1 too much without writing any real development on any characters, majority of it was empty filler.
I think if I hear good things about season 3, will go back and grind through season 2I have a feeling they didn't really have anywhere left to go with it though.
Wrote themselves into a corner with the end of S1 and effectively took a huge swathe of story they could use from the comics out of action, very short sighted.
I genuinely feel S3 will get it back to what it's needs to be, I am ready to be disappointed though.
I saw it as bit of a palette cleanser - the last 4 episodes have been pretty non stop - good to have a breather and moment of reflection.Well, a bit disappointing this week. Still very good and certainly building things up - but a bit of a filler episode.
Plus "Anything Goes" dance number?! Felt like i was watching an episode of Scrubs
I didn't mind the dance number, got right into Kimiko's head and show's how she's healing, considering all the absurd stuff we've seen across 3 seasons, it's barely a blip on the wtf-ometer.
