Is it for me?
Viewers who like their superheroes cynical and their jokes mean will take to it quickly, gore included. Vought's marketing team pushes Starlight into a revealing costume and treats it as a branding decision. Antony Starr plays Homelander as a smiling Superman type, and any room he walks into feels unsafe. Karl Urban's Billy Butcher runs every plan on pure resentment.
Before you start
Each season tells one continuous story, so start at the beginning; later seasons keep the shocks coming.
5 seasons, 40 episodes, 63 min each, about 42 hours so far
