Its pretty good. It wears thin in some regards, but there is quite a bit of story and characters to like.

it's very violent and the storyline is dark, yes. basically the major themes are grief and revenge and corruption of those in power

The Boys does have an extremely cynical take on super heroes.

I enjoyed it but it seemed edgy for the sake of being edgy
Or rather, thinking about it a little more, is that fans constantly say shit like "this is what superheroes would be like if they were real" and it's just cringe
I mean is that exactly wrong?

Maybe I'll give it another shot. Couldn't make it past ep 2 last time cause it just wasn't holding my attention.

I seriously hope they don't fuck up season 2. I mean it's not on Netflix but it's always the same story with these streaming service only shows.

It might be my favorite new series of the last couple years. It clicked on every level for me, I enjoyed every minute of it. Very excited for season 2 now.

I might have liked it if I were still in middle school and considered "super edgy" a positive quality.

How long does it take to get to the super hero part? My issue with a lot of superhero shows is that they are mostly 7 season long origin story with no action

Im really surprise how different it is from the comics... And honestly seems much better than it as well. Im glad season 2 got a huge budget from looking at the trailers. I want to watch it so bad.

the show is severely toned down from comics. Which is edgy for the sake of being edgy.

The Boys is not your typical super hero story. most of the superheros are actually antagonists. the show focuses mostly on non super powered people pissed off at the super heroes

From what I know of the comics that's a good thing. Having one of the characters do the same thing he does later in the comics would be a bad idea. People calling it edgy now would completely meltdown

Yeah it's like the first season is the stuff of fucking legends then you get to the second season and it's shit because either they changed writers who have no idea what they're doing or they decided to use the second season to preach at you.

Its dark but the violence is vastly in the slapstick style (not all of it, but yeah).
