The story is gripping from the begging, and the idea of superhero's being a advertising and political schtick, is just perfect. Every, single, one of the characters is believable, and is enhanced by the cinematography and entirely perfect cgi.

The way the story is told, from the perspective of the people that are usually regarded to as "bad guys" in super hero movies makes this an even better watch, as it's different. It's definitely not aimed at kids, which is one of the key reasons that it works, it doesn't care if it offends anyone, and therefore the universe engulfs you entirely.

Home-lander is a devilishly well acted character, he feels like an Ed Kemper (From Mindhunter) but rather in a comic way, which makes him feels even more psychotic than he already is.

Hughie is a great character as well, with great comedic prowess throughout the story, however I don't think I'd call him a main character, but rather an introductory character. He's one of the people that make me think a bit more about the series as his development arc is really good.

Cinematography is very good as well, with some shots that I swear will become classics, and shots that people in film school will be looking at in the future. The contrasty tone makes the entire series feel dark.

The one thing that makes me rate this series just slightly lower, is the incredibly annoying product placement in some of the scenes, some are just so obvious it can distract from the story and break the flow of the show. I don't care about the product placement itself, just the fact that it break the flow of the show sometimes.

Overall, you must watch this show, and I mean must as in, if you don't you will die unfulfilled with life.
