@@ataru4 That's pretty much my take. Its not that I expect it to be revolutionary or anything, just that right underneath the seemingly subversive exterior its still just capeshit. Which of course is the only reason it could get produced (by Amazon no less). That being said, as capeshit goes its probably the best I've seen in years. Homelander is at least 50% of the show.
Yeh that happens a lot in marvel superhero movies when buildings collapse, etc. They just don't show it, to make you love superheroes. Corporate propoganda.

@@NerdyTurd307 No, I think he's just waggling his patrish cred around. "Oh yeah I watch Andy Warhol's "Empire" at least twice a year and catch something new every time."
If Mike was here, he would have brought up the Jem'Hadar from Star Trek Deep Space Nine and the morality/practicality of addicting your army/super heroes to a drug you control. 👉
It was interesting to see the arc of the Deep. When we first see him, he is basically at the peak. And every scene beyond that just keeps highlighting how pathetic everyone thinks he is.
I think season 2 is going to focus a lot more on The Deep and develop him as a more likeable character, kinda like what they did in season 2 of Stranger Things with Steve.
I first saw the guy in Outrageous Fortune something like 14-15 years ago, and thought he was terrific in that. Hadn't seen him in anything since. It made the part where Antony Starr makes a joke about Karl Urban's accent super funny, since they're essentially from the same place. (Karl Urban is from Wellington I think, and Antony Starr is from Coromandel).
One of the aspects of Homelander that I liked so much is his emotional immaturity. He is a living child with super powers and it explains why he does what he does, and if you think about it, if you're brought up with absolute power from day one, you would also be a grown child your entire life.
Homelander is my favorite character, childlike in some ways but very clever and introspective, he understands why he does the things he does and what makes him tick.
@@Agrothewarhorse That she recovered from in seconds... He "delayed" monster girl for a few moments. To a normal human, yeah, he's unstoppable. To another super, he's like, well, Batman. 'We could kill him anytime we wanted, but meh, he makes our costumes."
I just like how Homelander mostly relied on his ‘laser-vision’ because it’s obviously the most effective and efficient way to deal with most threats. Just melt whatever you look at. I always thought Superman convoluted his tactics because he wasn’t willing to just kill everything with his eyes.
Superman tries lasers first against supervillains it just doesn’t really work usually cause that would be lame. He would laser every day human bad guys but he’s not a killer, that’s the difference. Home lander has no qualms about murdering bad guys without a thought but Superman does
There was one time when Superman used laser vision to perform an instant lobotomy to some guy that was going apeshit with his powers, he literally removed the part of his brain that allowed him to use said powers.
Damn 4 episodes in and so far it is really really good! I found the 1st season only enjoyable. Not to be placed in my best of all times folder, nor in my "only" oustanding shows category. I found it enjoyable but not to the point I would recommend it to everybody (only to people who I thought would love this kind of stuff. But so far that second season is outstanding (minimum!). The writing is now crazy good treating very subtile subjects in a very clever way eg how that fish guy became a mysoginist, Homelander's overall psychology, the new Stormfront character... And now i'm finishing the 4th episode where we learn more about that black dude's backstory. "- My father killed himself fighting the system. - He was a hero! - No he was a sick person that passed me his desease on...". Damn this is crazy good writing! The last time I watched something dealing with that subject it was in Donnie Darko ( the main theme of the movie imo, the difficulty of being less influenced than the others, of not just going with that flow of stupidity, Donnie's mom transmitting her "desease" to her son eventually telling him "it's wonderful to have a crazy son"). I mean the writing is really incredibly good in that season so far!! I'm stunned!
Damn that scene in ep 5! Homelander and the protestors... I had shivers down my spine! I am in shock!!!! Very very very rarely happens to me! The last time I felt like that, It was while watching Martyrs years ago... Homelander is on the way to become one of the best villains of ALL TIME! Impressive!

Alright you hacks, after your recommendation I watched the entire series. Yes, you're right. It was fantastic! I'm with Jay, I'm rather burnt out by the Marvel universe, so it was refreshing to see this dark take on superheroes. So so dark. But hilarious in parts also! (The bit with the dolphin is one of the funniest things I have ever seen.) Most of the actors I didn't know but every one was great in their roles! Karl Urban is always fantastic in every role he plays, of course and this was no exception. However, Antony Starr as Homelander (who I had never seen in anything else before this) was beyond perfect. The right level of surface charisma with underlying sociopathy. Terrifying but with hints of underlying sadness and vulnerability at times. I won't see either Captain America or Superman in the same way again, which is a good thing. I also thought they dealt with the 'Harvey Weinstein' part well. Really hoping next season will be a good as this one.
I kind of see that, though it makes sense. Eric Kripke's most notable work is Supernatural, a show completely centered on the bonds of family vs. life, destiny, pure evil, etc.
@@lilmoeszyslak4810 Oh cool, I didn't know that. I was just responding to them saying that they hope there is a second season since there was a cliffhanger.
Oh, Jay, you sweet innocent boy. You only think you're done with superheroes. You're going to be watching and reviewing superheroes for a long time. It is your destiny.
it is depressing that their HitBs involving superhero/star wars movies get so many more views than anything else. It basically becomes a business mandate to cover them regardless of their fatigue
@@frankmerker630 its kind of a self fulfilling prophecy, I think, because I feel most people are burnt out on those kind of films and they watch HitB to see people articulate those feelings.
Gotta be honest, the ending was insane for me. Just imagining all the emotions and pain and whatnot that Butcher goes through at that moment. Poor guy.
Deep is unironically the character I most sympathize with in the show. Sure he’s a pervy dick but beyond that he’s rly just a guy who wants more love from everyone and the only ones he got are his fish buddies that either end up chopped to bits, run over by a speeding truck, or shredded in the gut with a speedboat.
What’s fascinating is how capitalism and the corporations that thrive within it have ingrained capitalist realism (see: Mark Fisher) so deep in our society that they are comfortable airing stuff like The Boys. Anti-capitalism/military industrialism and social justice movements are all easily commodified at this point without any worry about revolution.
The only way revolution happens is if the powers that be whether guilds, military other elites take the side of the revolution. Look at the people's revolutions of the French or Russian, plenty of nobles joined the revolutionaries and many armies were mobilized in the years leading up to the revolutions because of other conflicts in the midst of economic stagnation. Then enough hungry people with guns realized the entire system had to come down.
@@ewanhoo good point. 4 biggest reasons for revolution is: 1. Extreme inequality 2. Economic downturn/inflation 3. Lack of social cohesion/extreme political divisions 4. Enviromental destruction
Rich! I'm a huge fan of the Preacher comics as well (they got me back into comics after a long absence) but I have to tell you the AMC show is the REAL DEAL. It may be the best adaptation from panel to screen ever made. I may be just another mentally maladjusted mutant RLM fan, but I really think season one (at the very least) is well worth a watch. Keep up the great work! You guys are by far my favorite channel on TH-cam.
1st season of Preacher is PHENOMENAL. The other seasons don’t have the same magic but have enough good moments that they’re still worth watching. I haven’t read the comic so maybe the comic is way better but I can’t believe RLM hasn’t at least watched the first season.
The Black Noir twist hinges on the Butcher/Homelander story and manipulating Homelander with the leaked photos. They altered the Butcher story so that no longer works, and show Homelander doesn't seem like he would actually be disturbed by seeing photos he can't remember being in, so now if they do go with the Black Noir reveal it won't have any shock value or relevance. My favorite scenes from the comics were the Butcher and Jack confrontation and the Black Noir reveal, neither which will work in the show, so that kinda sucks. Hope they can manage to come up with something as good.
They cast an African-American actor, Nathan Mitchell, as Black Noir, though you never see him unmasked in S1. If that isn’t an IMDB-fakeout, it’ll be hard to stay to the comic book.
yeah that realy is the comic bok about what could happen if superman turned bad and at the same time kinda explains why superman turned good althou superman isent in the comic
The comics were actually FAR FAR darker than the show. Karl Urban straight up said there's so much in the comic that couldn't be put on film at all it was so horrible.
i like it toned down tbh, i love the comic but much of it was edgy and dark for edgy and dark sake, no story motivation for a lot of it. with the show, every dark and fucked up thing felt like it was leading somewhere meaningful
I believe the comics were far superior. I know adaptations are supposed to be different but i was hoping for the darker edgier Ennis style of writing. It's what drew me to the series as opposed to the usual cape and tights stuff.But the Hughie-A-Train opening set a good tone.
I guess that goes along with the entire. There's the scene where they make fun of Translucent's name "It doesn't even mean invisible, it means semi-transparent"
This is a great show. I like the religious undertones, the juxtaposition of our expectation of good versus evil, and how society worships hierarchies (especially heroes). I hope this show continues for at least 5 seasons. I hope the writers keep it simple and don't regress towards the typical tropes associated with superheroes.
The author is from Northern Ireland, I've heard a lot of people pronounce it that way I wonder if it's because of his accent it sounds like a long E to American ears so we repeat it like that.
@@RossC667 He said it was the same writer (of the comics, Garth Ennis), which is why Preacher was brought up in the first place. And, for the record, I don't think it was the same team who adapted Preacher. Also, that Preacher adaptation kind'a blew. Missed the whole point of the comic series by turning his father into an abusive drunk.
Hyperion from Supreme Powers had his moments, but Mark Waid's Plutonian from Irredeemable / Incorruptible is the king of Bad Superman. *EDIT: also, Mother's Milk is basically a Good Person. Chaotic Good, sure, but Good.
Hyperion is never written to be "bad Superman". He's more like "what if Superman is from a broken home and raised by the military industrial complex". He's still naturally a good person but the mental baggage and good intentions for doing good but at any costs is the center of the character's plot. He's a Superman that is willing to cross the moral line to do good, unlike Plutonian or Homelander who are naturally a broken, morally bankrupt persons. Hyperion is more like an anti-hero, like The Punisher and Ghost Rider. Plutonian and Homelander are straight up villains.
I heard bad things about the Preacher tv series and it didnt look like they captured it well to me, which is a shame, im reading it for like the 5th time right now. Best fucking comic book ever...
So...junkie vampire - check Voodoo asshole preacher - check Inbred Jesus - check Asshole mouth kid - check Penishead, gore, faul language, sex, violence, asshole God...check check check. What the hell did you guys want out of the series?! 🙄😁
Great show, well written/acted. Love how some of these "heroes" had such good intentions going into this career ( not that they had much choice ) only to be corrupted and becoming nothing more than merchandise. Also love how Homelander just barely tolerates normal people, always feels like he's on the edge of snapping and murdering everything lol.
Just wanted to let you guys know that I simply love what you're doing. Watching your reviews of films I've watched gives me sometimes better insight into them. Watching reviews of things I haven't watched might either make me wanna watch them or just at least be aware of what that thing is about. I've learned so much from this channel and after years of following you I still look forward to every new video!
I thought Homelander was one of the best villains ever out of anything and easily the best part of the show by a large margin. Perfect execution on every level.

Save me. It was very tense whenever he was on screen and I kinda loved it. Best villain.

Anthony Starr was perfection in that role. That slightly odd lip of his was made for the role.

Karl Urban is always fantastic in every role he plays, of course and this was no exception. However, Antony Starr as Homelander (who I had never seen in anything else before this) was beyond perfect. The right level of surface charisma with underlying sociopathy. Terrifying but with hints of underlying sadness and vulnerability at times. I won't see either Captain America or Superman in the same way again, which is a good thing. I also thought they dealt with the 'Harvey Weinstein' part well. Really hoping next season will be a good as this one.
I don't care about you if I'm being prefect honest
the whale scene in season 2 put the dolphin scene to shame. xD
The Boys is about family, and that’s what’s so powerful about it.
Tyler Haberle u should watch breaking bad
Haha, that ending cliffhanger!
Ah, just like The Fast and Furious franchise.
I kind of see that, though it makes sense. Eric Kripke's most notable work is Supernatural, a show completely centered on the bonds of family vs. life, destiny, pure evil, etc.
“Superpowers” are female
'The Boys' taught me not to give moustache rides to superheroes!
Oh my god that scene lol
Sploosh expectations subverted.
I watched that scene with my parents

Funniest scene in the whole season! xD
Spat out my drink during that scene.
Oh man, I almost forgot about this line.
Lol that scene and the baby scene. "Fucking diabolical"
Shit 😂
Originally they wanted to shoot this with Mike, but he wouldn't stop using Karl Urban as an excuse to talk about Star Trek.
He's a doctor not a butcher, Rich.
Who could have guessed that Jack Quaid would be a guest star on a Best of the Worst episode, it was a nice surprise.
it broke new ground
I was not ready for that Superman strangling Superman clip.

This show is definitely going to have another season. It just came out yesterday that The Boys is Amazon's most watched Original Series.

@@NanoscopicSize me and the boys think you're making a mistake
Oh, Jay, you sweet innocent boy. You only think you're done with superheroes. You're going to be watching and reviewing superheroes for a long time. It is your destiny.
it is depressing that their HitBs involving superhero/star wars movies get so many more views than anything else. It basically becomes a business mandate to cover them regardless of their fatigue

Rich "I know, that was great!"
Feuer-Kampfer no, it's just great in general
Gotta be honest, the ending was insane for me. Just imagining all the emotions and pain and whatnot that Butcher goes through at that moment. Poor guy.
8 episodes, an hour each
Jay: "It's like a short movie"
He's talking about the structure and consistency
Each episode is like a short movie is what he meant...
@@slowburntm3584 he doesn’t know how to express his ideas
Homelander is the best superhero (villain) since The Comedian. Antony Starr needs an Emmy. He is one of the best psychopaths on film.
Yep. The last episode in particular he made my skin crawl.
It's like Norman Bates with superpowers.

I'm confident that my boy Karl Urban is going to Keanu Reeves into success.
I hope he does, he's great, man. He's pretty underrated

@@MustafaTurgutDenizer bro you got their pronouns wrong you fuck
I nearly died laughing I think it was episode 6 where Aquaman goes save the dolphin and he kills it at the end that was the funniest scene ever.
Me, too. I was laughing uncontrollably because I knew the moment he hit the brake what was going to happen.
@@jeebus2121
Poor dolphin
Poor Deep.
Deep is unironically the character I most sympathize with in the show. Sure he’s a pervy dick but beyond that he’s rly just a guy who wants more love from everyone and the only ones he got are his fish buddies that either end up chopped to bits, run over by a speeding truck, or shredded in the gut with a speedboat.
@@rhetiq9989
Guy really needs a break.
It's very upsetting the way his aquatic buddies keep getting killed.
Episode 4
I’m so pleased that Amazon renewed this even before it was released. It shows how happy they were with it.
Preacher is as good as it could be on AMC.
The Homelander is the DCEU Superman if his character was presented that way deliberately
Is a HBO show which is own by Warner Brothers, so of course is gonna be a DC character.
Zack Snyder foolishly tried to deconstruct Superman and make him heroic at the same time.
@@Adrianovaz2007 i dunno, I really liked Man of Steel. I thought Cavill did great!
@@danield.8233 man of steel is a decent sci-fi film, its not a good superman film.
Better than NRS's interpretation of emo superman
What’s fascinating is how capitalism and the corporations that thrive within it have ingrained capitalist realism (see: Mark Fisher) so deep in our society that they are comfortable airing stuff like The Boys. Anti-capitalism/military industrialism and social justice movements are all easily commodified at this point without any worry about revolution.
The only way revolution happens is if the powers that be whether guilds, military other elites take the side of the revolution. Look at the people's revolutions of the French or Russian, plenty of nobles joined the revolutionaries and many armies were mobilized in the years leading up to the revolutions because of other conflicts in the midst of economic stagnation. Then enough hungry people with guns realized the entire system had to come down.
Its almost like capitalism is so successful that it can accommodate satire without being threatened
@@ewanhoo good point. 4 biggest reasons for revolution is:
1. Extreme inequality
2. Economic downturn/inflation
3. Lack of social cohesion/extreme political divisions
4. Enviromental destruction
@@ewanhoo and those both worked out so well lol
@@iand4374 Get help
Rich!
I'm a huge fan of the Preacher comics as well (they got me back into comics after a long absence) but I have to tell you the AMC show is the REAL DEAL. It may be the best adaptation from panel to screen ever made. I may be just another mentally maladjusted mutant RLM fan, but I really think season one (at the very least) is well worth a watch.
Keep up the great work! You guys are by far my favorite channel on TH-cam.
The first two seasons were great. The rest just hurt me.
Wait until they adopt Crossed. Rich said that no corporate has the balls to film what they did in the comics.
Rich Evans is so humble calling himself a regular schmuck like you and I. Rich Evans is a God!
I’m always on edge when ever he makes an appearance
Rich Evans is the Key to all of this.
@@dirrdevil you eat a slice of Showbiz Pizza and put on your Doc Martens and black trenchcoat
Preacher is great, btw. The angel hotel fight in season one had to be one of the best things I'd ever seen on TV. And that show is plenty f***ed up.
@@scottk1525 yeah I'm sure a show that features God in a gimp outfit will fit right in with the Vampire Diaries
So very disappointed how they handled
Odin Quincannon's Meat-woman in first season.
1st season of Preacher is PHENOMENAL. The other seasons don’t have the same magic but have enough good moments that they’re still worth watching. I haven’t read the comic so maybe the comic is way better but I can’t believe RLM hasn’t at least watched the first season.
I enjoy Preacher. Has its slow and very frustrating points but its certainly been a lot of fun to watch.
I’m just happy that we actually have a cable show that includes the plot involving the inbred Jesus offspring
People need to start saying his name: ANTHONY STARR!!
I'm kind of cheesed off that Amazon cancelled The Tick - I really liked that production. Great cast too.
@@gruntpocalypsenow well said chum, well said.. we need some more ying in this world. Even Overkill has to dance - once in a while.
Same here!
oh you guys wait till you see season 2 you'll love black noir (if they go with the comic book story).
Hard to say what they're going to do with the material, they've already made several deviations from the comic story.
Especially the season finale.
The season finale sorta lead me to believe that Black Noir will be different from the comics
The Black Noir twist hinges on the Butcher/Homelander story and manipulating Homelander with the leaked photos. They altered the Butcher story so that no longer works, and show Homelander doesn't seem like he would actually be disturbed by seeing photos he can't remember being in, so now if they do go with the Black Noir reveal it won't have any shock value or relevance.
My favorite scenes from the comics were the Butcher and Jack confrontation and the Black Noir reveal, neither which will work in the show, so that kinda sucks. Hope they can manage to come up with something as good.
@@themanagement1535 Now. . . it's been like 12 hours since I watched the show ;-) , but wasn't it A-Trains leg that got broken? Not Black Noirs?
They cast an African-American actor, Nathan Mitchell, as Black Noir, though you never see him unmasked in S1. If that isn’t an IMDB-fakeout, it’ll be hard to stay to the comic book.
Highly recommend "Irredeemable" if you want a good take on Superman going nuts/evil super heroes.
yeah that realy is the comic bok about what could happen if superman turned bad and at the same time kinda explains why superman turned good althou superman isent in the comic
Thank you I just finished issue 1. Seems interesting and always like to see something new to read.
Just read the whole thing. It's pretty good!
piggybacking off of this, i highly recommend The Brat Pack for another great superhero deconstruction
@@kerobop Cool I'll check it out!
The rare combo, love it.
Two cynical minds (Rich even more so than Jay, really) who have found a show made for them.
i really love this kind of format , when you're just chilling and talking about anything
The comics were actually FAR FAR darker than the show. Karl Urban straight up said there's so much in the comic that couldn't be put on film at all it was so horrible.
i like it toned down tbh, i love the comic but much of it was edgy and dark for edgy and dark sake, no story motivation for a lot of it. with the show, every dark and fucked up thing felt like it was leading somewhere meaningful
@@Lexpionage Yeah, Ennis really needs someone to cut out the unnecessary stuff in his work.
@Donavon Bray herogasm is supposed to be in season 2
I believe the comics were far superior. I know adaptations are supposed to be different but i was hoping for the darker edgier Ennis style of writing. It's what drew me to the series as opposed to the usual cape and tights stuff.But the Hughie-A-Train opening set a good tone.
If they couldn't put it all in there then what was the point of putting it on a streaming service
You can just feel the pure contempt they don’t have for each other. It’s so obvious that Jay can stand being around Rich and vice versa.
The Boys is brilliant. Best superhero media in years.
His name is Black Noir? BLACK BLACK?
Yeah, he wasn't made for his backstory
@@aidanmagill6769 No.
You expect Americans to know what noir means? You're lucky if they know how to pronounce it.
Black noy-er
@@JunkCCCP Yeah, its not like theres an entire genre of american films associated with the word.
I guess that goes along with the entire. There's the scene where they make fun of Translucent's name "It doesn't even mean invisible, it means semi-transparent"
This is a great show. I like the religious undertones, the juxtaposition of our expectation of good versus evil, and how society worships hierarchies (especially heroes). I hope this show continues for at least 5 seasons. I hope the writers keep it simple and don't regress towards the typical tropes associated with superheroes.
I started to watch this video without knowing about the boys and immediately stopped the video and binged the show. So good
Crackin' open one of the boys to talk about this cold one.
Hold up.
It's good to see these two guys in a video of their own. They have great chemistry together
Just binged watched this show and man was it a breath of fresh air to have something that felt unique and done well.
it's funny that every episode begins with an Amazon prime smile.
Needs a blood stain on that smile, then it'd fit.
Great! You guys should continue talking about TV series guys. No more of that super heroes review
.. oh wait...
Can we get a re:View of They Live?
I love Mike, but it's refreshing to see these two together.
You kidding? Mike doesn't watch nerdy stuff like comic books...
Besides, there's no comparisons to Star Trek.

#18 trending. I'd squirt a tear but the alcohol has dried my eyes out
The way Rich mispronounces 'Ennis' is his greatest yet.
Eee-ness
@@MrNiallisme I wonder what Rich could have been thinking of to make him use that pronunciation.
Come on, everybody knows the P is silent.
The author is from Northern Ireland, I've heard a lot of people pronounce it that way I wonder if it's because of his accent it sounds like a long E to American ears so we repeat it like that.
It's hard to pronounce Erse names without context. For instance, Sairse Ronan's first name is pronounced Sor*sha.
when jay says theyve got a batman character in black noir @ 3:42 i immediately think of tech knight in the comics and chuckled just like rich
I know you guys will never read this, but Preacher was adapted by the same people who did The Boys. You should totally watch it.
They literally said this at the start of the video
They should watch it. It's great
Yeah, the show is massively underrated
@@RossC667 He said it was the same writer (of the comics, Garth Ennis), which is why Preacher was brought up in the first place.
And, for the record, I don't think it was the same team who adapted Preacher. Also, that Preacher adaptation kind'a blew. Missed the whole point of the comic series by turning his father into an abusive drunk.
Hyperion from Supreme Powers had his moments, but Mark Waid's Plutonian from Irredeemable / Incorruptible is the king of Bad Superman.
*EDIT: also, Mother's Milk is basically a Good Person. Chaotic Good, sure, but Good.
Hyperion is never written to be "bad Superman". He's more like "what if Superman is from a broken home and raised by the military industrial complex". He's still naturally a good person but the mental baggage and good intentions for doing good but at any costs is the center of the character's plot. He's a Superman that is willing to cross the moral line to do good, unlike Plutonian or Homelander who are naturally a broken, morally bankrupt persons. Hyperion is more like an anti-hero, like The Punisher and Ghost Rider. Plutonian and Homelander are straight up villains.

Preacher is amazing fun. Go watch it. The Boys was kind of similar in its way.
The Boys is much better
Connor McCartney very much so. Cassidy and the bald guy are the only redeeming part of Preacher. The rest are ‘meh’
I heard bad things about the Preacher tv series and it didnt look like they captured it well to me, which is a shame, im reading it for like the 5th time right now. Best fucking comic book ever...
It's an embarassing travasty. The original comic isn't exactly super deep, but the show is childish nonsense with mostly unlikable characters.
So...junkie vampire - check
Voodoo asshole preacher - check
Inbred Jesus - check
Asshole mouth kid - check
Penishead, gore, faul language, sex, violence, asshole God...check check check.
What the hell did you guys want out of the series?! 🙄😁
Oh, boy! My favorite bear and otter talking about a new show!
I feel like jay leans into more twink territory
No, mike is the ultimate bear of the show, not rich
Are they really family?? Or y'all just joking...lol!!!!
Great show, well written/acted. Love how some of these "heroes" had such good intentions going into this career ( not that they had much choice ) only to be corrupted and becoming nothing more than merchandise. Also love how Homelander just barely tolerates normal people, always feels like he's on the edge of snapping and murdering everything lol.
I finished the show yesterday. So glad RLM talked about the show.
Just wanted to let you guys know that I simply love what you're doing. Watching your reviews of films I've watched gives me sometimes better insight into them. Watching reviews of things I haven't watched might either make me wanna watch them or just at least be aware of what that thing is about. I've learned so much from this channel and after years of following you I still look forward to every new video!
Preacher is damned good show! It feels like they trimmed it but not too much.
I was about to go back to sleep but this is better for me.
Jay, you hack! Where's Nicholas Winding Refn "Too Old to Die Young" re:view with Josh?! I need to know what am i thinking about that series!
It's great!
It's also cancelled. *RLM slide whistle*
Sardonicast and or yms has a good take on it!
I thought Homelander was one of the best villains ever out of anything and easily the best part of the show by a large margin. Perfect execution on every level.
It was confirmed that amazon bought a season 2 before it even premiered cuz they liked it so much
Show was picked up for a 2nd season prior to the 1st season’s premiere
