The Only Man in the Sky

Really loved this one. As some have pointed out, the confrontation between Homelander and Butcher was intense as hell and the parallels are evident and ingenious. It'll be interesting to see how far Butcher takes things this season, and it's scary to think that Homelander could very well go even further than that...

It seems like Kimiko and Mother's Milk will be getting some development too, which is exciting. Even Hugh is getting a surprisingly compelling arc so far.

These first two episode have started to establish dark, wonderful things still go come. I'm excited to see what happens.

'The Only Man in the Sky' is another excellent episode, advancing the plot without rushing into it. I can't think of many shows that manage to maintain their quality through action and non-action both, with the perfect balance and pacing to boot. The actors deliver their usual top-notch performances; Anthony Starr is a very convincing sociopath, and Karen Fukuhara manages to convey so much emotion with just her expressive face.

I especially loved the 'generic boy band' ending song with its creepy lyrics; it genuinely made me break out in hysteric laughter. That a show with this much social commentary and criticism of capitalist pop culture is produced by Amazon remains ironic...

Stop crying you karens, you watch more disgusting nopor videos all nights, this is a C show, kids are more brave than any of you crying americans, the show is fun to watch.

Anthony Starr is the star of this show. His performance as Homelander is phenomenal and he deserves awards for it. Homelander's story is still the most interesting and the moment where he goes truly insane will be memorable.

The other character's stories are fine, but slow. I hope we get to see more action in future episodes, but it's promising so far.

He is amazing in this role. A psycho with super powers. I almost forgot he was in Banshee. Can't wait for next episode(s) and a clash between him and Butcher.
