Started series 4 and it’s lost it’s way a little in terms of abilities and the different superpowers, seems all over the place between powers and mutations and how things affect different people.
It’s a bit like the zombies in walking dead where the level of actual danger depends on the characters involved.
It’s still fun but feels like some of the magic is missing.

Watched the first episode, thought it was a great start to the series with some excellent WTF moments.
I'm pleased to hear they have an end in mind now, it was always a show that needed an endgame and they've been allowed to flesh everything out enough to bring it to a strong conclusion. I'm sure they'll carry some stuff on with Gen V which is the perfect vehicle to hand over to.

Season 5 will be the last, which seems about right. It should reach a natural conclusion with Butcher putting and end to Homelander, and then dying himself.
If it avoids either of these, I think it would be a cop out.
Until then, I shall continue to enjoy the ride.
I reckon the other way - Homelander ending Butcher, but then being offed by his son, who somehow finds a way to then abdicate his powerIf it avoids either of these, I think it would be a cop out.

So, here’s a thought about casting.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Negan from Walking Dead) has arrived as an old colleague of Butcher. Watching them together, I found myself wondering how good he might have been in the role of Billy Butcher. But without the attempt at an English accent.
He played a very good psycho in The Walking Dead and Watchmen so I think he would have been able to play Butcher or Homelander although Antony Starr is brilliant in that role.Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Negan from Walking Dead) has arrived as an old colleague of Butcher.

I laughed a lot at this, you see her almost break character as she tries to stifle a smile behind her hand which just makes the shot even better. There have been several "wtf" moments in each episode so far which just highlights how lacking some other shows where you go for multiple episodes with nothing happening.
Distinctly average so far, as already said a bit too much reliance on the gore and violence and less on story. Seems disjointed and slightly aimless. "Smartest person in the world" is underwhelming but Homelander's parenting methods remain very entertaining. Will watch anyway but I'm not hooked, especially compared to S1 and S2.
just started watching this, terribly graphic!
Urban's English accent is as bad as Don Cheadle in Ocean's. I would have hoped that a Kiwi would would do a better job!

(Damn it, just watched a YT video of Urban and Starr (both Kiwis) and they showed a clip when they both first meet. I was like "Ahhh, then ahhh s
t!")
