[Say Hey Kid]

This is Amazon's new super hero series. I'm about to start watching. Please post your thoughts here.

Watched 2 episodes. I'm hooked.

FWIW, Amazon is very, very careful with their content warnings. The worst subject matter they had a warning for is implied and off-screen.

If it's not rated r they are doing it wrong. The comic had copious amounts of nudity, vulgarity and very graphic violence. Also, Simon Pegg should be Wee Hughie. He's the spitting image of him.
Edit: So I see they cast Pegg but as Wee Hughie's father...
And please get that beard off Urban.
Otherwise the trailer looks promising.

There is full-frontal, graphic violence and whatnot.

 

[DaBadGuy316]

That trailer looked really good.

 

[Burnoutboi]

I'm four episodes in and loving it so far. I've heard about the comic but never read it.

 

[bobbythebrain]

Show is fantastic

 

[Say Hey Kid]

I finished the season, but

Spoiler

Was Butcher's wife raped or was it consensual?

That's the million dollar question. I hope it's the former.

Get to work, Amazon, and get season 2 rolling. Like NOW

Binged it last night. Absolutely loved it, can't wait for season 2

 

[Knave]

This is really good. I think the cast is doing a good job, it's a good flow and stuff is crazy but believable. If superheroes were real you could imagine it getting to their heads like it does with athletes, celebrities, politicians and others. So some of them were decent, some had problems and some were cold and arrogant.

 

[Thread The Needle]

Easy binge for me which is not often case. This was definitely very entertaining and had engaging characters and moments.

 

[Gee Wally]

I liked it.

 

[The Drop]

5 episodes in. I’ve enjoyed it so far.

 

[TheAngryHank]

Good series , im not in to gore but this is comedic so its fun.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

What a crazy and fun show! Watched it over 2 days. The visuals are pretty impressive.

Fyi


The guy in the comic is based upon him

One complaint is they telegraphed the twist and I think it was a mutual hook up

 

[Jumptheshark]

The adaptation is done by the guy behind supernatural

 

[Pugs35]

5 episodes in and it's really really good.

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

Watched the first episode last night. Looks good so I'll try not to binge watch in 2 sittings and spread my viewings over a few days.

 

[TheAngryHank]

Think my favorite part is the baby in the lab.

 

[Tawnos]

A day or two after this came out, my brother-in-law was talking about it and I said "oh, that's a comedy, right?" He said, "no, it really isn't."

It's a comedy. Dark comedy, to be sure, with its fair share of seriousness... but still a comedy.

I'm about 5 episodes in myself and love it so far.

I did not know that. Funny.

Did no one seem bothered that Stillwell's baby most likely blew up in the house? Butcher really DNGAF about anyone.

Given the info he head it is understandable
