The Boys (Amazon Prime)

[UberTiger]

3 seconds in and I already know it will be good from the specs

Okay, so even with the warning I didn't expect full frontal male nudity, a bit of me too action and so much anti-hero violence in the first episode! Damn, I like this show's style!

 

[The_Abyss]

That looks good. I'll definitely give that a try when it's released. It reminds me of a darker version of Sanderson's 'Reckoners' trilogy.

I wasn't aware of The Boys and the background until I saw the Amazon trailers. When I did, I too immediately thought of Sanderson's trilogy, which I really enjoyed. Only finished it last year.

 

[Midlife Crisis]

Roll on season 2

 

[MookJong]

Finished, that was great wasn’t it!

I finished last night, what an utterly fantastic series, 8 episodes wasn't enough, I want more and the season ending was brilliant, will be interesting to see how much it changes Butcher in season 2

Also, nobody seems to know, but what the hell is up with the weird fly and in your face buzzing, it's clearly intentional but no idea the relevance

Finally some show where people do actually die and there is some blood and other adult content. Was fun to watch too. Highly recommended to watch.

I can only echo the other comments in here, what a great show! Finally finished ep8 this evening.

Hopefully they can keep the same charm for S2

Wow - binge watched the first four episodes last night and enjoying it. I'll finish the series this week while the wife and children are away - certainly not family friendly viewing

 

[Captain]

Just finished it and thought it was very good. Also Erin Moriarty is lovely.

She's fine af, she reminds me a lot of Kate Mara.

 

[MissChief]

She's fine af, she reminds me a lot of Kate Mara.

Shantel van Santen too. She's becoming very popular on the streaming services.

I binge read all 70+ comics over the last few weeks prior to watching the series, Its amazing how much of the OSM has been changed for the TV series but still manages to keep it close enough to be recognisable as 'The Boys'.

Im looking forward to s2!!

Girlfriend wants to know.

Spoiler

Did the baby survive the explosion?

 

[SixTwoSix]

@danoliver1 Unsure, this isn't in the comics.

 

[cheesyboy]

2 episodes in. It's very, very good.

Girlfriend wants to know.

Spoiler

Did the baby survive the explosion?

Spoiler

Tell her yes it did and was adopted by a very nice family who loved it to bits.

Don't tell her it was in bits and put into a bag.

@ElliorR Considering some of the other things that Homelander does in the comics, the latter you posted there is quite tame.

Spoiler: Homelanders comic book antics

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.

It was the 'other' Homelander

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?

I could have course be wrong as i'd read the series fairly late each night before nodding off to sleep.
