The trailers had got me hyped for this show, even though I'm not a fan of the creative team behind it. And the fantastic first episode promised a lot, sadly the show doesn't deliver. I thought I would get a dark but fun show, showing likeable oddballs defeating smug supervillains, maskerading as heroes.

Especially Homelander is an amazing villain, but like many modern shows (like The Walking Dead) this is not a story about good guys against bad guys. The writing is good, the cast great, the performances are all fantastic. But I can't help asking myself what's actually the point of it all.

It's a great premise, but just not used the right way. It's not going anywhere interesting, it's dark, hopeless world creeps under your skin and they seem to be brutal simply for shock value. The show is really good, but it doesn't give me anything and was not fun to watch, instead especially the last few episodes were just stressful and depressing.
