Does anyone else feel like this season has been rushed?
I personally think having 2 more episodes would have allowed them to flesh out some of these storylines more.
Lamplighter was mentioned multiple times in season 1.Fine season, but felt like there was too much going on. Could have used more episodes or less plots. Was Lamplighter mentioned before his episode came up? I had no idea who he was. Plot threads were resolved fine in the end, except Deep's, which felt like there was not payoff. I just couldn't care about some of these characters especially Maeve. I don't know if it's the actress or the writing, she just always looks disinterested. Homelander and Butcher are the show's carrying forces, there's no doubt about it.
I don't want to nitpick but one thing that bothered me the whole season was that the main protagonists were wanted criminals and their faces were wellknown. Yet they had very little problem moving around in public. Sure they lived in a crappy cellar and had to be careful when moving around. I just didn't feel like they were in any real danger. Noir got to them once when he actually used Voight's systems to look for them. I would imagine that Voight would have been trying to look for Butcher and his gang actively and they would have the power to find them if they wanted to. Biggest joke was when Hughie strolled around Voight headquarters with no problem. Like c'mon, there were no cameras that spotted him?
Still, a fun show and I eagerly waited for each weekly episode. Waiting for 3rd season although I feel like I'm good now and waiting for a year or so won't be a problem.
Agreed with all points on this season. It was good, but a step down from season 1. Lamplighter was mentioned in the first episode of season 1 as the person Starlight was replacing in the 7.Fine season, but felt like there was too much going on.

Described as being "part college show, part Hunger Games", the spin-off is to be set "...at America’s only college exclusively for young adult superheroes (and run by Vought International), the [spin-off] is described as an irreverent, R-rated series that explores the lives of hormonal, competitive Supes as they put their physical, sexual, and moral boundaries to the test, competing for the best contracts in the best cities."
Krupp, Siemens, BMW...
slightly surprised they're going to let the AOC character basically be a villain
This was a fun f***ing ride. Homelander is just an incredibly well-acted character.
They've changed a lot of the characters from the comics: The Boys: Victoria Neuman Comic Origins & [SPOILER] Explained
Also, AOC's a comic book fan: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Quotes Watchmen in Response to Critics
That's why I'm fairly surprised that they may make someone left leaning the/a villain.
but AOC and Neuman are not one in the same. one is a fictional character who we dont really know which way they are leaning politically or their alternative motives and the other is a real life person.
