Season 1 - 7/10.

This superhero show is a satire to you usual superhero movies. We have a fake superman, a fake the Flash, a fake Aquaman, etc. - so it seems that much inspiration is taken from DC.

The universe plays in a similarly corrupt worlds as the one we live in. The only difference is that they have superheroes, or "supes". On screen and in social media, they all seem like awesome righteous people but it quickly turns out that they hide more than one might expect. This is all for show and in reality there is a lot of corruption. Also, where do their powers even come from? The boys know about some of the supes heavy misdeeds and start fighting back.

It was alright. Honestly, I think the show was basically always super boring when the boys were on screen but it was often interesting when the supes were featured. They did a good show highlighting some of the corruption and ridiculing some of the superhero business but the motivation of the superheroes is not that clear. Why do they necessarily want to join the US military? One may argue about more money but the show does not at all show why these supes would need more money. I mean, Homelander is a freak who wears his superman outfit the entire day and his daily highlights is when he gets to have sex with his chef.

Season 2 - 5/10.

Meh, kinda boring. We get some new supes, get deeper into the mess Vought is in and Starlight gets closer to the boys, actually accompanying them occasionally. But man, why the heck is she so darn weak?

There is a focus on Homelander's child and quite a bit more on Homelander's insecurities. They continue to thematize some topics like religion, racism and white supremacy utilizing especially that this is an American series, as the black-white thematic and Christianity are especially prevalent in the US (but of course the same topics exist everywhere else).

But yeah. Meh. I wasn't convinced. Also not sure if some scenes needed to be added. Like the attack from the freak whose power is that he has a super long dick? That was disgusting and I don't think anyone needed to see that...
