Ok through 2 episodes and think it's ok, not loving it.

The super powers on this spinoff are a bit stupid. Marie's being the worst. What exactly is it? Your have to cut yourself to let the blood flow and you control blood? Dumb.

And the girl that has to puke to activate her super power? Dumb.

The he/she Super is ridiculously stupid, what's the point in that?

I will keep watching but not anywhere close to being as good as the start of The Boys.

It is pure satire and commentary on our current world and it is wonderful

I mean they aren't supposed to be "good" powers it's supposed to be completely random and off the wall. Also I think the transgender person may have slightly different powers depending on what form they are in.

I really hope people get this.

And it's true and not good at the same time.

I thought the same thing!! I am actually enjoying this show. Though the blood powers I get but cutting her hand isnt necessary if she can blood bend other people. Blood Bending stolen from Avatar but I enjoy it other than the dumb way she is using her powers.

I think they explained that when Marie saved the girl's life in the club, it was the first time she realized she could manipulate other people's blood.

It was funny as hell until you saw the carnage of the real humans at the end.

This show does an amazing job of getting you to laugh at something ridiculous but then 10 seconds later causing you to think about whether it was really funny or not.

"I fart the Star Spangled banner".

really liking this series.

top-to-bottom,

yeah, some things are cliche if you watched superhero shows or buffy, but they are just nailing everything.

I liked episode 6, it was a good episode with some insightful flashbacks and a good teaming up at the end. I liked that kid in the robe who was just drug along with them in Cate's mind!

They haven't established the rules yet for actions that occur in her mind except that they can't use their superpowers.

ETA - if it's anything like the Matrix, well, looks like he won't be joining us for the rest of his life.

Didn't Soldier Boy tell them that if they die in her mind, they die in real life also? It would have been nice to show him still laying on the ground when the rest got up just to give his short-lived character some closure. LOL

Curious if that scientists blood was a carrier of the infection unknowingly that got on the Neuman lady. Seemed weird to focus on that.

Completely agree...I don't know why this show doesn't get more run. It's really good and not a cheap knock-off of The Boys but very complimentary to that show and I really like how it will lead right into season 4.

I just saw it as another example of her blood powers. Also a literal brushing off of the dude's existence.

Just judging from friends/coworkers I've talked to about it, a lot of people thought it would be a CW-esque teen drama.

Interested if folks who thought Marie's power was dumb at the beginning still feel the same knowing now the connection between that power and the other person who holds it?
