Enjoying The Boys even more now. It's very dark, funny, and far pacier than the Netflix superhero sludge. I have grown to like Karl Urban's British accent (there's a few jokes about it in the script, which is nice) and he delivers every 'cunt' with very British aplomb. Most Americans struggle to squeeze the C-bomb out, it's like they're born constricted – if you're going to C-bomb you can't hesitate half-way through the word, it's like holding onto a grenade after you've pulled the pin. Throw the fucker. And he throws. It's almost like he's been to Proper Swearing School. Or possibly a Wetherspoons.
The not-so-superheroes are quite good too. Homelander is a spendidly psychotic lactation-obsessed alt-Captain America. This isn't a programme for small children, btw.
Some of the set pieces have made me laugh hard. The unfortunate demise of the dolphin made me snort, but laser baby was even better.
