I forgot all about this but logged onto my Amazon account and noticed it only had 3/5 stars. Would have waited at least until fall for this to come out after the long break. Kinda dumb.
Think the over the top aspect of the woke factor made it tolerable. If it starts regressing into the "Dahmer" series I'll most likely tap out. [Reply]
The politics are heavily one-sided so far. The writers have a genuine chance to really hit home if they make both sides look like easily-manipulated children, but I doubt they will.
They need to be careful or they will start turning people off, though. I don' care about the gay relationships, black smartest person, women are always smart, men are buffoons, etc. It's all been fine, but "the message" has burned shows to the ground over and over in the past. I don't want to lose this show, it's been awesome damnit. [Reply]

They're not toeing the line this season, it's almost getting distracting [Reply]
Both of those theories make sense. I feel duncan's thought of Homelander doing it because he felt threatened and belittled by her makes a little more sense, but I can see her doing it to herself to relax. It's like her getting high at the end of the day to chill and have fun. If Homelander did it, wouldn't he take the tool with him?
