The Boys, Series on Amazon Prime

[StarEclipse]

Anyone else watched this? Binged it this weekend and thought it was great!

Have watched first two episodes and absolutely love it. Apart from Billy Butcher's godawful accent

Me & dh are watching this, up to the third episode, loving 🥰 billy butcher 🥰

This is a mighty series. I think the accent is dire if it's supposed to be from London but, Karl is a fine actor so I can overlook it.

Simon Pegg ( why him ?) Erin Moriarty & Jack Quaid are impressive so far 3 episodes in.

Simon Pegg ( why him ?)
Because in the original comics, Wee Huey was drawn as Simon Pegg (not sure why - assume they had his permission). He's obviously too old to play the part now but it is very sporting of him to make the guest appearance as dad.

I'm genuinely amazed they have made this series - the comics are SO offensive. To everybody. Equal opportunities offensiveness. They're also very funny with great dialogue, but i really never thought they'd be televised. Out of all the graphic novels I used to read pre-children, these are the only ones I strategically removed from my bookshelves incase they accidentally read them one day.

Thanks @RubaiyatOfAnyone I've not seen the comics. My DP is the graphic novel lover though, I've never seen them and didn't know existed until this show.

Season two has already being given the go ahead so Amazon must be confident in it's appeal.

I am loving these, sometimes don’t know whether to laugh or cry, it’s so shocking.

(Pity about the English accent).
