near perfect? fans already have been saying it went downhill around season 3. the show got lazier and lazier, especially they had issues with Marie supposdely being anti-homelander was never used. he did better with 5 seasons of SPNatural than this.

It was decent, the final season was pretty pointless unfortunately and the finale didn’t live up to the hype. I will say the shows ending was a million times better than the comic. I laughed and despaired at how stupid the comic ending was but the show made sense at least and did better with several of the characters like Kimiko, Annie and Hughie.

Comic 5/10 overall ending 2/10. Show 7/10 including the ending, a quite watchable show.

It was a bit underwhelming and cheesy at times, skipped a few of the “touching” scenes. Overall okay, but meh.

Yeah, I guess I’m dumb but I quite enjoyed it. Homelander/trump’s ending is picture perfect. Butcher’s story ended exactly as it needed to. And there’s some lovely hope and optimism, which for a series like that in times like these, felt exactly right.

Near perfect? I don’t know about that, but it was alright.

Poking through the online fan communities, people seemed to resent:

• the desire to push a new spinoff show, Vaught Rising, starring a character that people didn’t really care about (Soldier Boy) who kept disappearing and coming back,
• visibly reduced production value,
• marketing that teased plot turns that never happened
• dragging the show past its expiration date by 2 additional seasons

I was always an arms-length viewer of the show, never really embracing it, acking it for the edgelord-chasing nihilism that it offered but never caring much about it. All that criticism sounds about right.

Respect to the on screen talent; they deserved better.

I had to quit watching this show when the man crawled into the other man’s penis.

I won’t see it for at least a week and likely weeks.
