    What a great show, certainly a suprise. Excellent mix of action, parody, black humor and tragedy.
    One moment you're in the dark world of twisted and fake corporate heroes, the next rip off Aquaman goes to save a dolphin from a zoo lol.

    The comics were fantastic, shows more depravity and inner monologues from the so called "Heroes".

    Hated the comics and I have problems with the show but overall, I’m really enjoying it. It’s an entertaining hour every Friday.

    Not sure what you mean, I still have a few second season episodes. There was only a scene with Hughie pretending to be telecom technician, you'll get a 1000 mbits....that's a lot.
    Wait, no I'm still on season one, wtf player confused me.

    I never liked comics before, but now I do. I already have a small personal collection:)

    I'm actually enjoying second season more than I did the first one.
    Seems like binging the first season when it came out was a mistake, since I now feel like the single episode each week delivers more of a kick than binging.
    I'm pretty sure he meant political correctness, which if they didn't make fun of S1, they certainly did in S2.

    Just finished watching, I don't think they can botch it by making a third season. It just has that quality, the only thing that shouldn't be done anymore is the boys not sticking to the plan. Every time for some reason one of them doesn't stick to the plan and shit hits the fan.

    Finished watching it, Season 1 was wack, but in Season 2, they really stepped up their game!

    I recently go pretty interested in this show after watching an amazing youtube video ().
    For those of you who have watched it, what do you think of it? Is it amazing?
    Would you recommend it?

    I know a lot of people love it, so you should probably give it a try. I didn’t make it through the first episode, myself; I found it too uncomfortable. But what’s uncomfortable for me, might not be for you, and considering how popular it is, there’s probably something there.

    I feel the same way as @Anra7777 . I keep hearing good things about it, but it gives me a knee jerk reaction when watching. I prefer my hero’s as hero’s.
    Still you might enjoy it. So I recommend you at least give it a chance

    first season is amazing
    second is okay
    if you have seen watchmen (2009) film and liked it, it is about the same themes
    superheroes with compromised morality, even more morally compromised anti-heroes, and a lot of guts shed, due to both parties

    I wouldn't say second season is worse. It may just seem so but by default first season is full of suprise and new things, you just can't keep that up or it gets worn out. I think quality remained the same. As for Watchmen, I've seen that, not bad but I have no real context just from a short movie.

    I loved it! But I definitely think you need to have a certain sense of humor (and tolerance for gore, among other inappropriate subjects).
