Anyone watching?
Just binged the whole series and found it the perfect antidote to the usual Super Heroes stuff!

I'm up to episode 6. It's so good!

bakedbeanzontoast · 10/08/2019 05:43

One of the best series to come out in a long long time I think.

Henlie · 10/08/2019 08:08

Yes! We watched it all last weekend. I thought it was brilliant...! I’m guessing there’ll be another series coming along??

GrimDamnFanjo · 10/08/2019 10:40

Yes I believe a second season has been commissioned.

Netflix? Prime?

bakedbeanzontoast · 10/08/2019 10:56

It's on amazon prime if memory serves right

WingBingo · 10/08/2019 10:59

It’s awesome!

Some of the deaths are impressive.

HoneysuckIejasmine · 10/08/2019 11:04

Yep, I saw it, really enjoyed it. Slightly predictable twist at the end but I still want to see what Butcher will do. Had to look away at some points as the violence was pretty brutal, especially from Homelander.

Not sure what to make of The Deep. At times comic, but also pervy and very tragic.

GrimDamnFanjo · 10/08/2019 14:46

Yes the Deep ended up as my favourite character. He didn't do it "on porpoise" ;) the management of his behaviour was darkly comedic.
I wonder if we will see more people that didn't make the 7 in the next series?

Homelands is my favourite.

Love a good baddy.

bakedbeanzontoast · 10/08/2019 17:02

*er

JustHereWithMyPopcorn · 11/08/2019 14:02

I binge watched the whole series too. Wasn't sure what it was going to be like but found it excellent! Wish I hadn't binged it now, too log to wait for a second series.

JustHereWithMyPopcorn · 11/08/2019 14:03

Butcher's accent was annoying, he's a New Zealander but I think they were trying to make him English? It was painful. That's my only negative comment.

HoneysuckIejasmine · 11/08/2019 14:45

Yes, Urban's "British" accent was a fail.

I8toys · 11/08/2019 16:04

Loved it. Binged it and want another series

iklboo · 11/08/2019 16:12

It was SO good. Especially playing the C bomb drinking game Wink

Rahul88 · 11/08/2019 20:00

I enjoyed it. Didn’t realise he was supposed to be British till it was mentioned about halfway through.

minou123 · 11/08/2019 21:50

I've just started episode 2.
Im enjoying it so far

I dont know all the names yet, so bare with me.
I love busters fake British accent, but I love it when actors put in fake accents.

GrimDamnFanjo · 12/08/2019 01:45

Butcher is very Dick Van Dyke!
Loved the Haley Joel Osmont character too.

Just watched the first two episodes tonight and really enjoyed it. (Although I had to look away during some of the really gory bits).
And Karl Urban's (Butcher) 'English' accent really was all over the place!
I just read that the actor playing Homelander is a Kiwi too but he obviously has no problems playing American.

BG2015 · 12/08/2019 17:39

Watched the first episode and thought it was really good. Definitely going to watch it all now.

Mookie81 · 12/08/2019 22:30

The scene when Homelander and Queen Maeve left the plane of people was rough!

HoneysuckIejasmine · 13/08/2019 17:16

I think QM is going to crack, Starlight is clearly getting to her. After the whole plane incident, and when she realises what Homelander has done with the Compound V... That's got to be her limit.

Hoppinggreen · 13/08/2019 17:18

Absolutely loved it, binge watched it in 2 days
Some really really good acting and really funny (as well as really awful) bits
