I just finished the first season of The Boys on Amazon Prime, and I can recommend it. Superheroes being corrupted by their celebrity status and marketed by a greedy corporation doing shady stuff on one side, and The Boys™ being led by Karl Urban who no longer want to accept that on the other. Has some references to DC and Marvel, and a bit of a Watchmen vibe.

Third that, it's funny and very entertaining. However, if you are offended by nudity, blood, gore and very strong language then better stay away :D

After the Imax apollo movie, i thought i'd also watch first-man with ryan gosling, it's filmed in freakin shaky-cam!?!?! DAMNIT!!!, turned it of, probably was a movie i'd really like if it wasn't for that f-ing shaky cam, bit bummed out by it. Now i don't mind if they use some shaky-cam during an intense scene, but even during a close-up of the wives face at the dinner table?!?! Man what's the freakin point of that!

Finished the 1st series last night, and dear God it was superb! - Great characters, great acting and a convoluted plot that left you guessing. Any confusion I experience was shared by at least some of the characters too, just as it should be for immersion.

And what a cliffhanger to end a series on.

The Ashes, a grand prix, *and* series 2 of The Expanse this weekend. All I need now is a kebab the size of a small island and I can die a happy man.

“I…” Had she just called him fat? “I am just a different species, that’s all.”

“Well nature sure does have a sense of humour then,” Styanar said. “Shall we go inside? It’d not be a good idea for me to be spotted by others.”

Just finished with the last series of Gotham, and Stranger Things S3. iZombie just wrapped up - great show, weak ending - and we just finished S1 of Barry (so odd) and so we're starting Happy S2, and also a weird new show on Amazon called "The Boys". Didn't go in with any expectations, other than it was probably going to be rubbish, but it's rather good - even if it has Karl Urban (Bones, Dredd) doing a really dodgy London accent and Simon Pegg doing a really dodgy American one.

No, but he did play "Bones" McCoy in the J.J. Abrams Star Trek movies, which I suspect is what esd meant.

Carnival Row comes out on Prime at the end of the month. Trailer certainly captured my attention. Strong cast, and looks like a big budget production.
