I knew this show was going to be great, just based on the premise and what I've heard.

It's such an intelligent way to tackle the theme of superheroes. We are so sick of seeing the same types of stories over and over again, so this is totally refreshing.

I love how it starts with the brutal misting of his girlfriend in the street! It's like a bucket of cold blood in the face and it really wakes you up to what kind of a show this is going to be.

Strikes a great balance between action and humour and intrigue and superhero tropes and sexual gags.

I knew that Homelander was going to be left for that final sweet reveal at the end - you could just tell he was majorly sinister.

I love that we get a look at the Seven from the outside & the inside (with Starlight).

The acting is solid and I enjoyed spending time with every single character.

Can't wait to see where the story goes from here!
