I think about halfway through season 2 of The Boys. Seems a lot like season 1 and not really seeing anything to complain about.

I like the plots, and it's nice to see good acting from faces in other places.

Agree with the good acting from other places.
We watched the Midsomer Murder series through Season 19 before Netflix shut it off and it went to BritBox, in October 2019.
We called it our summer of Midsomer, watching about 5 episodes a week during the summer.
I was hoping Mystery Road would be as good.
I do admit the accent and phrasing lost me about twenty percent of the time, but I bumbled along.

Really? you're not seeing the overt message. Without posting a SPOILER

I guess I'll keep watching. Nothing is really tying together yet.

Finished season 2 of The Boys. I liked it, no pairs with any of the social commentary as they pretty much nailed it.

I'm like 5 episodes deep into Utopia and it's absolutely terrible. Every once in a while there is a decent hook that gets me to watch the next episode, but I'm surprised I've made it this far. Big let down.

Utopia was choppy all the way through. I got to the end and was glad I did - it gets much more action-y as the story nears its conclusion.

Is it worth finishing in your opinion?

Yeah, some good stuff in the later episodes, IMO. Vintage crazy John Cusack (think "Grosse Pointe Blank").

Okay, I'll finish it up on your recommendation, thanks. I've sat through other terrible shows, what's one more? Heh

Only because the ending is not what you think is going to happen
