Dark and amazing

What to say?!

Its dark, it's humorous, its biting satire.

Its a chilling take on corporate control of politics and media. That's probably what I love about it the most. It pulls nopunches. The casting is excellent, script writing is excellent. Its tragic, super dark and violent. What a mix of styles!

Karl Urban is great as the over the top not job. The lines between good and evil are blurred so far its very refreshing to see characters that are not 2 dimensional in a super hero flick.

Elisabeth Shue.. Still very sexy.

She was sexy in The Saint all those hears back. She's still hot. The characters are all quite likeabke in very unlikable ways if that makes sense. Just love the show.

The dark humor almost goes too far sometimes.. But then you remember this is based on a graphic novel.

Some scenes are hilarious. The whale?!

Without needing a spoiler alert.. There's a ridiculous scene involving a whale.

Homelander is so well cast and suitably creepy. Everyone's individual tragic stories just fit nicely. Its a lot or fun and action and some excellent writing to boot.
