I love this show - it's a great satire on the superhero universe, specifically DC, as most of the Seven are based on their characters (Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash etc.). I read the comic a few years ago but am not making comparisons; the tv show works perfectly well as a standalone. It's a delight to watch Antony Starr again after a long break from Banshee (I don't watch American Gothic so missed him in that), and he is suberbly narcissistic and cynical in his role as Homelander/Superman. My only gripe is with Karl Urban's appallingly bad British Cockney accent - his native New Zealand by way of Dick Van Dyke - which is a shame as his Billy Butcher really looks the part and has some great lines. Otherwise, for me, it would be a 10/10.
