    Season 2 has just got started - three episodes released Sept 4th, then one a week thereafter (which is kind of annoying, but you know, the ever spreading and ever continuing Covid effect).

    Watched the first episode - really enjoyed it - and looking forward to the next one.

    2x01 spoiler:
     
    Jennifer Esposito's character didn't last long in this season, did she?!

    Season two has held up very well! Looking forward to the finale. Then we’ll likely be waiting quite a while before a third season can be completed...

    I love that they didn’t give us every episode at once. Tired of the whole binge watching at once thing. Don’t have to rush through to avoid spoilers.

    Season 2 was awesome. Last episode had some weak parts but that ending was freaking crazy.

    Binge watching does have it's down sides, doesn't it? I've sometimes found myself doing that, or having to quickly avert my eyes at any mention of a show I'm going to watch but haven't yet started.

    Just one more ep (this week) and that's the season done, right?

    I've been enjoying it quite a bit - and all these messed-up shades going on inside Homelander's head, man, great performance there.

    It's good stuff. IIRC it's just 8 episodes (#8 goes live on Friday).

    Going back to the 'one episode a week' format has been interesting (aside from the first three going live in week one, that is) ... you have the time to digest the story more and also build up some antici ... ... ... pation for the next episode.

    Long Way Up (motorcycle travelogue show) is doing the same thing - they put up three episodes week one, and have been doing one episode per week since. I'm a huge fan of Long Way Round/Down (and now Up) and the other Boorman travelogue shows, so I really get pumped up putting on a new episode after a week's wait.

    Yeah! I rather enjoyed it and it bounced along quite nicely. Good twists here and there, intriguing developments etc, and leaves you wanting more.

    Some episodes can occasionally feel a smidge long, clocking in as they regularly do at about 60 minutes (you sometimes wonder if certain scenes are written/played longer than they strictly need to be) ... but that's only a vague sort of an issue with it, far outweighed by everything else.

    Homelander is performed so well, too ... the complex craziness going on inside that head, hehe.

    Didn't quite understand how a super can't be touched by bullets, but a knife in the eye works just fine

    TBH I think Butcher should have gone for other eye with the crowbar when she was strangling his wife.

    Awesome series though.
