Look, I'm not a Trump supporter so just forget about that right now. No politics involved here, I just don't think this show is very good. The Nazis are such over the top cartoon supervillains that it's hard to take them at all seriously. This is made painfully clear from the very first extremely over the top scene. The tone is all over the place. Sometimes it seems like they're going to take the subject matter very seriously, but more often than not it starts leaning into a weird mix of comic book movie (and no I don't have a problem with comic book movies) and some kind of weird parody of exploitation films. It's all very campy, over the top, and packed with comic book references for some reason. The protagonist kid's introductory story even feels like a superhero origin story.
I don't know, I guess I was just expecting something more serious here. Something dark and disturbing like Mindhunters. This feels more like some producer at Amazon said "people loved The Boys. Let's make it more like that!" and it just doesn't feel like it fits with this subject matter. Sorry, it's not for me *shrug*
