Well, so far I've had a blast watching it this season. I've got over the fact that Hughie isn't Scottish, that MM isn't [spoiler]still suckling from his mother[/spoiler], that the Female and Frenchie have names, that the Black Noir twist [spoiler]can't happen[/spoiler], and that Butcher doesn't have the same reason for hating the Homelander. Butcher's accent seems to be getting a bit better too, or maybe I'm just getting used to it.
This season seems to have upped the Ennis-ness considerably, and no longer seems a toned-down version of the comic. I was a tiny bit disappointed to see Herogasm [spoiler]reduced in scale - a house, not an island - but the depths of depravity are pretty much unchanged. Not many TV series show people fucking octopuses. Also, Love Sausage has arrived![/spoiler]
The writers have very skilfully weaved the comic storyline around current events too; the whole thing is oozing with toxic Trumpiness even though the orange clown doesn't exist in this universe.
Looking forward to more.
all of the above
I must concur- really enjoying it and happened to watch episode 2 while the good lady was in the same room (usually sent upstairs to watch my shite) but she watched and now I am allowed to watch in the comfort of my living room 😁 - she says it's watchable
Hilarious, bleak, utterly gross, and right at the top of the pile in a summer full of amazing television.
It's a fantastic series and I've really enjoyed it. As much as I like the comics, I think all the changes for tv so far have been improvements.
Jayzus, why do you think the Black Noir twist [spoiler]can't happen[/spoiler]? What did I miss?
Actually I've just realised I'm not quite up to date, so it may just be something in an episode I've not seen yet.

Sorry, I missed this... I'd better not say till you're up to date.
Feck it, I can't resist saying it anyway.
MASSIVE SPOILERS, FOR BOTH THE COMIC AND THE SHOW...
The Black Noir twist can't happen on the telly version because [spoiler][spoiler]Black Noir isn't a clone of Homelander in the series, but a disfigured black war veteran. Also, Homelander has just killed him.[/spoiler][/spoiler]
