@nessisonett I've just finished re-watching the first 2 seasons of The Boys ready for the new season. I'll see if I recognise which bit your referring to when I watch it.
@BearsEatBeets@sorteddan It's a bit annoying there is only one episode per week being 'aired'. Anybody know how episodes in the season, as I will probably wait until all the episodes are up.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@JohnnyShoulder It's going to be 8 episodes again. I think they've put the first 3 up straight away so 5 weeks until they are all up. I suppose putting them out weekly gets them discussion and attention online for longer.
Releasing episodes of your favourite show on a weekly basis?
Diabolical.
😉
Ha, people today have grown too used to an entire season being released day one. Nothing wrong with making people wait a week for the next installment.
The Boys remains the most outrageous and outrageously entertaining show on TV. Loved Stranger Things and Obi-Wan is really good, but my favourite remains The Boys. Just when you think it's running out of steam or can't shock anymore, it flips the script and keeps you hooked.
@Col_McCafferty I think the majority of people don't consume TV shows in that way these days. Ironically I used to do that - watch a bunch of TV shows one or two episodes per week but I switched it up this year.
Of course there is nothing wrong with it, and not huge issue as there is plenty of other stuff to watch in the meantime. Just a grumpy old man moaning about something.

@JudgeDredd Moaning about other people moaning. Good moaning. And after all that moaning, I may have to watch the first 3 episodes of The Boys, just to keep up with the Joneseseses. 😂

Finished up City Hunter (well, the 51 episode first season anyways). Excellent.
80's anime series that follows Ryo Saeba, the "City Hunter" (essentially a gun for hire who takes on jobs the law either can't or won't). While there are plenty of episodes that play it pretty straight (and a handful are dead serious), there are a good amount that find him in more humorous situations as well (and there trends to be some humor in the more straight laced episodes too). Granted, most of the humor centers around Ryo being an unrepentant womanizer (although he's often foiled by his assistant Kaori, who often bashes him with a giant mallet in such situations, even if his only crime is making her jealous).
Really the only thing in a similar headspace that I can think of are the older Lupin III series (like those, it doesn't have much of an overarching narrative, rather each episode tends to be it's own adventure), though I'm actually certain I prefer this (despite growing up with Lupin III Part 2 on Adult Swim). While it does have it's share of gags, it doesn't seem to get AS zany as Lupin can (both in terms of situation & character design), with some surprisingly good attention to detail when it comes to vehicles & firearms which is cool.

Trying to wittle down my number of followed topics (I'm getting an unmanageable number of notifications) and don't know how to do that without first posting.
But to keep it on topic Severance was phenomenal.
Stranger Things s4p1 continues 3s trend of being corny and disappointing. It'd be one thing if the tone of the show had always been this way. But it wasn't. They just decided to change it mid run. It's just odd is all.
Dopesick is somehow really good and feels really important but I can't get myself to finish the show.
Ozark did what it did. I mean the show was such an incredible drama at times and such a let down at others. All in all it gave us one of the best downtrodden but badass female characters in all of television so I'm grateful for that. And who knew the meat market scale guy from Sopranos could be so convincingly ruthless? Hmm.
Then there's Yellowjackets. Not even sure on this one but looking forward to another season.
That's all I can think of. Now onto Winning Time, the final season of Better Call Saul, and Station Eleven.

@LN78 she really was so good. Laura Linney and Tom Pelphrey were also great but Julia Garner surely stole the show.
