During my recent burn-out phase, I ended up binging on all three current seasons of the television show The Boys to kind of refill my batteries. 24 episodes of superheroes being evil.

It was the first show I watched since finishing up Succession. I don't like The Boys comic but I actually liked the show a lot.

Anyone else watch it?

I've heard it's extreme, but am willing to give it a shot! Especially with your endorsement and the fact that I don't have to buy another subscription for it.

The comic is too extreme imo. It was shock value for the sake of shock value. I don’t like it.

The show was good, imo. Violent, gory, harsh, funny, but with emotional depth and great acting. A handful of scenes I don’t appreciate, but that’s true for any show.

The Boys show is to the Justice League as Game of Thrones is to the Lord of the Rings.

There are some Watchman vibes but with way more humor.
