The Boys (Amazon Prime)

I watched this all in one go. I like how it's a satire of modern culture and social media, and both simultaneously making fun of gun nuts, racists, ultra feminists, SJW's, basically everyone, while also being down to earth. Homelander is basically Superman mixed with Trump. Stormfront and the other girls made it obvious they don't care about feminism or women being better than men, same with Maeve not wanting to be promoted as a lesbian or LGBT icon. Basically it makes fun of everyone, which is why it works.

Anyone think Starlight in her civilian clothes sort of looks like Sarah Michelle Gellar? Her voice sounds very similar too, honestly if they ever reboot Buffy she would be a good actress to cast as her. I swear she sounded nearly identical in some episodes and looks the part too.

Homelander is the best actor for obvious reasons, he nails the role. Love how everyone is a parody of a popular superhero. Some things I've seen in this show though...cannot be unseen. I'm surprised they were allowed to get away with or show some of the things of sexual nature on this show, on amazon prime no less. Some things I'd rather not see again, let's put it that way.
