The Boys - Amazon
« on: July 31, 2019, 05:15:33 PM »
Holy moly!  This was much better than I expected. The non-spoiler premise is what would happen if super heroes were commercialized.   They did a great job with character development, from the supes to the mere mortals fighting them.  The heroes themselves are spoofs of mainly DC characters.  I will watch Season 2.

They need better marketing, word of mouth I've seen is all good, but the commercials make it look stupid

A friend of mine at work just recommended this to me yesterday, so I'll give it a try.  Agree with Bobby though.  The commercials didn't inspire me at all.

It's based off a comic book series. I've never heard of it.

Exactly where I am, Bob.  I'm blending this along with the Netflix Marvel shows that I'm behind on.  Just started Jessica Jones.


Lots of TV time when you're stuck at home with a bum leg!

I'm finished. I liked it. Maybe I won't cancel prime

Erin Moriarty is practically a dead ringer for Kristy Swanson from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

I finished it last night as well.  Also liked it.  Will definitely look forward to season 2.


Coincidentally, I just started Jessica Jones this week as well, and Erin Moriarty is in season 1 of that too.  She's pretty good!
