Seems like it will be an accurate portrayal of what would happen if big business mixed with super heroes.
Definitely looking forward to watching the rest of the season.
It's gory, it's hilarious, and my god, the CGI in this show is stunning. Like REALLY stunning. Add this level of CGI to supergirl, and maybe it would be abit less cringey, cause it's the same style of CGI that's needed here, but it's done sooooo much better.
So far the story is very intriguing. It's also very easy to bond with certain characters, and you know right away whom to root for and who you wanna see dead.
If it keeps this level up, we might have a new gem on our hands.
The show in general is fun, gory and has a lot of interesting characters that you want to learn more of. It's cynical but not "just" to be cynical. It has something to say about super hero worship, the power of corporations and branding and our reliance on media to tell us the truth.
Hughie is a likeable, if sometimes frustrating, main protagonist and I anticipate watching him grow and change as a character as he learns to deal with the events that he has become mired in. Antony Starr is *incredibly* creepy as Homelander and really sells the trauma this guy has endured and what's it has warped him into. Elisabeth Shue is also unsettling and portrays the fine line between fear and bravado perfectly. The acting is solid all around. Everyone does a great job playing their parts and making you care for this group of flawed semi-heroes and semi-villains alike.
Can't wait for season two!

- TriviaFor the shot where Queen Maeve shatters an armored truck, SPX filmed a real truck smashing into a steel pole that was later removed by VFX. Queen Maeve was then shot in front of a green screen in the same location and comped into the real folding truck.
- GoofsThe Deep tells Starlight that they have satellites in "geocentric" orbit. It is fair to assume that he meant "geosynchronous" orbit. He next states that they can read a license plate from 380 miles up. It is also fair to assume that he's talking about the same satellites as he doesn't mention any other. Geosynchronous orbit is approximately 22,236 miles above the surface of the Earth.
A geocentric orbit means an object orbiting the Earth, such as the Moon and thousands of satellites including the satellites that read license plates from space.
