You might be wondering “where is the review of episodes 2 through 4?”
Well, I accidentally binged them and I found myself in episode 5 thinking about how I hadn’t written anything about the show.
Well, if you’ve been watching the show for a while and wanted a chance for it to get back to simple
plot, than this is the one for you.
You’re got a main plot line filled with gore just like in previous seasons, but with people that you normally don’t see getting their hands dirty or facing danger. I actually liked this part the best.
There’s the B plot with Homelander and Ryan bonding over helping people
. For me, I’m reminded of all the criminals that heroes fight in different comic books. We have a tendency to think of them as less then. It’s ok to hurt someone because they are a bad guy
.
At what point, does the punishment go to far?
Is it ok to get enjoyment out of pursuing justice?
I’d love to see how far the show goes with this thread.
