I didn't know whether to post this here or the TV board. But given the subject matter I think this is the better audience.
Is anyone watching? It's on Amazon Prime and is about privatized Superheroes. It is not for the faint of heart. It is absolutely positively not for kids (think HBO type show). But my God it is fucking amazing.
I'm only to the third episode and I'm itching to watch more.

I knew there had to be discussion somewhere!
We've got one episode left. I really like it. DH says we need to start watching more positive things though, lol. We do a lot of dark.

Just finished episode two. I’m hooked. Although that first scene with Starfire and The Deep actually gave me a stomachache.

Finally finished it. Wow is it fucked up. Are we to assume the baby is gone?
And I have a lot of mixed feelings about the Deep.

They are definitely going for the shock factor. Translucent could have been poisoned.

If you like the show you should definitely check out the comics. The first 3 are actually available for free if you have kindle unlimited through Amazon.

Just finished. I can’t wait for the next season. I figured the kid was still alive but I didn’t see Becca being still alive. I was sort of thinking it would be Starlight with some weird supe aging power since the ages didn’t match up, since her eyes glow. Like a pure version of homelander.
I wonder if Mallory knew the sex between Homelander and Becca was consensual but twisted it around for Butcher once she went “missing”. I can’t wait for the explanations to come out!

Like he's fucking horrible. But I don't feel like what happened to him is "he got what he deserved" which is what a lot of people I talk to think. Two wrongs and all that. Like no, assault is assault and no one "deserves" that no matter how much of a shitty person they are or even if they assaulted someone in the past.

His exile is deserved, assault never is.

I really enjoyed it, I just wish it wasn't so rape-y.
Also Frenchie must be protected at all costs.

I just watched all 8 episodes in 3 days. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BABY!!! Homelander is so awful he probably didn’t save him. But the one setting off the bomb is just as awful. They both hate the other kind so much. I mean, from episode 1 (or maybe 2?) you knew Homelander was going to kill that baby. Somehow, someway. I think it's funny you say he probably didn't save him. He blew up the house solely to kill the baby! Madelyn was already dead and he's invincible, so Butcher wouldn't have set off the bomb. And Homelander quite obviously didn't want Butcher dead.

Maybe I need tore watch. But didn’t butcher hit the detonator ? We didn't see him hit the detonator, just a flash of light.

I... Thought butcher hit the detinator as a fuck you to Homelander because he had no cards left on the table.
Now I'm questioning everything.
And no matter who set off that bomb, that baby was going to die because Homelander hated that kid.
