hahahahahaha, way too late for that, i watched the first season, and all the characters moral base were so ugly their actions so contrived to ellicit a negative response, they got one from me, watched the first ep of the second season and that was it, just another over the top superhero show, trying to say something, and failing. sure lots of shoot em up and gore, a little sex, but overall forgettable as social genre commentary. at least for me. i did like Gen V, a lot a lot, I guess the reason for this disconnect is they wrote the kids likeable with some sort of moral center, even the bad one, and I understand that, that makes sens to me. Tragedy what happened Chance Perdomo, and hope the show is able to reground and continue. But The Boys, blech, you can have it.

The show holds a mirror to Republicans and corporate America, so yeah. Even then, hardly any of the characters are actually just evil. They’re a product of their environment. I won’t go into details in case someone hasn’t watched it all yet, but even the most idealistic supes were broken down by institutional rot like lies and coercion.
I couldn’t get into it’s always sunny in Philadelphia because every character is a terrible person. But then I realized that’s the point. They all suck and they all deserve whatever horrible things happen to them (except maybe Charlie, he’s the purest of heart and dumbest of ass). Once I stopped trying to find someone to identify with and root for, the show became amazing.

And I for one, know Nazis exist, do not enjoy watching Nazis being Nazis, because they’re fucking Nazis
Are you similarly enraged by raiders of the lost ark or inglourious basterds?
That’s how the source material is. That’s the whole point of the show.
You missed the entire point
The source material sucked, the show absolutely polished a turd into a diamond.
yes, because the point, as they were attempting to animate it for consumption, sucked shit. they missed to point of making an entertaining show.
