It wasn't great, it felt like it was missing...something. Not sure what. But it wasn't bad. I mean shit, I watched the whole thing in a day.
Karl Urban was great.
The girl who played Starlight Is freaking gorgeous.
I don't like gore. At all. But the ultraviolent stuff was limited and not gratuitous. It didn't bother me.
I'd be fine if there wasn't a second season but I kinda want to see where it goes. [Reply]

To cover the comics it'll probably take 3-4 seasons
Karl Urban makes this show imo [Reply]

Karl Urban was great, even if his accent was a tad wonky. Antony Starr killed it as Homelander. Every scene he was in were the best moments of the show. I think one of the top TV villians I have encountered. [Reply]

Watched a few episodes... I like Urban, Shoe is a great fit as a corrupt head of the organization. Still waiting for some nudity other than a couple of guys butts.
Seems that a second season has already been green lighted. Will finish up the rest of the season this week. [Reply]

And what the hell is it with that these days. I don't care if I see nudity in a movie, but if you're going to, how about show the females. It's gotten pretty normal to show a bunch of guys dongs without showing so much as a single boob. :-) [Reply]

Watched up to the race last night and fell asleep right after the finish. Highly entertaining series but wow does it paint a very bleak and dark picture of the world. I wonder how many kids sat down to watch this thinking it was a X-Men
parallel only to wind up going to bed crying.
Gave a legit LOL when they poked fun at Baltimore's crime problem given the recent news. Nice unintentional foreshadowing.
This really isn't a spoiler but a prediction:
Spoiler!
Anyone notice how the directors are slowly transforming Hugie from a nerd into a grizzled tough guy with camera angles? We're starting to look up him instead of down in his shots. I thought that was a neat subtlety.
Looking forward to seeing where this goes. Thanks for the heads up, I might have missed this one. :-) [Reply]
I finished the season a few days ago, and I like where it is headed.
I know the ideas aren't the newest, but I think shows and movies should explore the obvious massive downside to having super humans in the world. Especially Super humans that may appear to be benevolent on the surface.
I started reading Irredeemable 10 years ago, but didn't keep up with it. I think it's time I go back and read it all. [Reply]
