The Boys (2019– )
7/10
Very entertaining
24 October 2020
Actually entertaining AF - but it like most TV shows if feels unfocused.

I watched the first season, all 8 hours, and I still don't see what the point is besides being asked to spend 8 hours, plus another 8+ hours, plus another 8 hours, following a bunch of scumbags.

I hate that season 1 ended on a cliffhanger. Again, 8 hours of programming and you can't even make a salient point at the end? Seriously? Ugh. Who am I rooting for? And again what's the point?

Look, if I wasn't a grown man with a career, interests, relationships, I'd totally be onboard no questions asked. But I can't justify the investment of time for what the show ultimately delivers.

I was feeling Anti-hero fatigue before I started watching this show and it's not making me feel any different.

It's well written, fun, and original in parts. I was entertained enough through season 1 but not enough to invest in another 8 episodes: Life's too short.
