Really good. First 4 episodes are better than the last 4 but it's still good, and Anthony Starr is brilliant in it.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Bloody brilliant. If your looking for a bit of dark things in your superhero genre. This is it.
Cheers gents. I'm going to get on to it
This was fantastic.
Just watched this in 2 evenings. I don't normally binge but couldn't stop watching it.
Billy Butcher and Homelander are such great characters.
Big fan of Garth Ennis' comics, but I just never picked this up. Just started reading the first omnibus of The Boys and it's excellent too.

They’re really good...don’t want to ruin anything but there are some great bits. Thought the series was considerably better than Preacher but the Preacher comics are better. Well worth a read anyway.
I love Preacher. Still haven't watched the series yet, but the comics are superb.
Is the Preacher tv series not up to much?
In isolation it’s OK and it’s pretty enjoyable for the most part but it deviates so much from the comics that it barely represents the source material IMO.
So i just finished this and thought it was fantastic. Antony Starr why plays Homelander is amazing. I don't know of any other way of saying this, except that he has a great face. By which i mean it's simultaneously handsome, unsettling and menacing, while also appearing friendly and sincere. It's a terrific performance and clearly the standout.
Usually dislike anything to do with superheroes. This was amazing
Just watched the first ep, could immediately tell they film in Toronto. Recognised the Roy Thomson Hall straight away.
Enjoyed it!
Enjoyed it!
Anyone watched this on Amazon Prime?
It's very, very good.
It's very, very good.
Saw the trailer and found the concept interesting. Haven’t been sold enough to watch the first episode yet but might do just that after your nudge. The concept seems similar to Brandon Sanderson’s Reckoner series.
Watched it, loved it.
It’s brilliant. Violent, funny and at times, gross! Totally recommend it. Karl Urban and the guy that plays Homelander are great.
Yeh enjoyed this. Erin Moriarty though 
Dominique McElligott is where it's atYeh enjoyed this. Erin Moriarty though
Just finished it. Very feckin excellent
Wtf is wrong with ye man
Watched and loved it, especially the ending was fantastic 
I'm getting old
Took me 3 episodes to work out what accent Urban was trying to do. He was still very good despite the accent. Always good to see Elizabeth Shue too.
Just finished it. Bloody brilliant. Anthony Starr was impressive in Banshee but even better in this.
Watched 1 episode and the impression is very very good
Absolutely shite. Waste of time, poorly written, bad dialogue that tries to be funny but just isn't and the whole thing looks like it's been filmed by a first year student on an iPhone and just proves that Amazon should leave original shows to Netflix.
And yeah all of the above in my post is bullshit. Loved it to bits, maybe even more than Mr Robot. Can't wait for Season 2.

you had me worriedBrilliant. It actually made me check out the comics while waiting for season 2
Tv show > comics btw
Tv show > comics btw
3 episodes now, it's fecking brilliant
Let us know what you think about the slow motion bit in the fourth episode. You'll know which one.
i had it on repeat just to listen to its squeal in slow mo
before that point I kept thinking "is this show meant to be a bit camp? It feels a bit camp"...Then, yeah, that happened
Starlight is just
Interesting factoid for you non comic fans regarding the dog leash in the back of Billy's car in the first episode when he says he doesn't have a dog...
he fecking does and it's a big chunky loveable leg humping Pitbull that likes to violently attack folk
Reading the comments on here, I’m very intrigued to watch it now!
Might binge it later this evening.

If you're going to meet a violent end, Popclaw is probably the best way to go.
Yeah, it looks like Amazon are going for quality Vs Netflix's quantity. I suppose it's because Amazon has a massive list of shows and movies you can buy or rent whereas without Netflix's own stuff it would look like a bare catalogue.
I just look through the images for all the Netflix stuff though, see the exact same types of photos and logos and think "what makes this special compared to the show beside it?"
hahaha the group therapy guy who was shagging the ice supe
