Horrible boss
I am surprised there’s no thread on this. The first three episodes are now up on HBO Max. I am only one episode in, but so far it’s really enjoyable. It’s in exactly the same vein as The Suicide Squad and picks up right where the movie left off. The tonal consistency is hardly surprising because this whole thing is written and directed by James Gunn.
I’ve generally not been a fan at all of the DC material on film, but The Suicide Squad was excellent and this appears to have continued the quality. It’s early to tell after one episode but there were some genuinely funny moments, plenty of gore and sex, and a sort of irreverent charm. It helps that this has a TV-MA rating, and so they can really let the shackles off. Thus far it looks better than anything Marvel have produced for the small screen, and if you are a fan of The Suicide Squad or Doom Patrol, this will probably be right up your alley.
