I love the comics so I’m definitely watching this. Some of the characters are different or don’t look like they do in the comics so I’ve already prepared myself for it being quite a bit different than the source material. Doesn’t look like they’ve watered-down the tone and graphic nature though. Should be close enough that I enjoy it.

This looks decent. It's about time someone put those damned superheroes in their place.

Unfortunately Urban is like Clive Owen and Michael Fassbender: Good actor but Box Office Poison.

I would have liked him as Roland Deschain.

A few episodes in and it's been a decent watch. Thought it would be more Watchmen'ish, but it's not. More like what if Disney Marvel characters were DC characters.

I just finished the finale. I'll give it a solid B.

They should have killed off Noir if they weren't going to use him. As the "Batman" of this series they made him all but useless. Batman would take down Butcher's crew alone without breaking a sweat. So again - Get the Batmanish character right or get rid of him next season.

The airplane scene was disturbing and effective. They needed more of that tone.

Other than killing off Elizabeth Shue's character there was no real payoff this season. The family reunion scene wasn't much of a holy shit moment IMHO.

Decent casting but I'd rather have Urban play Dredd again.

Even though they made a ton of unnecessary changes from the comics, I like the series so far. It's not as graphic as the comics, but I honestly wasn't expecting them to go that far anyway. I'm only a couple episodes in though so maybe they'll surprise me before the season ends.

Finished it. Overall story isn't anything new but it's a good watch. The Homelander guy is pretty good. All the 'heroes' are well played.

I still haven't seen a story that does this theme as well as Alan Moore's Miracleman. There's a story arc where Kid Miracleman (based on Captain Marvel Jr.) becomes evil and it's sooo fucked up.

Yup. Miracleman 15

And you'd be hard pressed to find a better illustrated comic. John Totleben is a remarkable artist.

Loved it. I thought it was great and fucked up and amazing all in one. Can't wait for season 2.

Really enjoyed this. I’ve read the entire run of the comic and I’m actually enjoying the different direction the series seems to be going in.
