I liked the first two seasons but haven't started the new one.
I do feel like it's a bit over-relient on the gore tho.

It does feel a tad hypocritical when they criticize corporate pandering and commercialization of everything so much, when the gore in the show is very much commercialized and exaggerated for entertainment value.
I am not really offended or bothered by it but some of the stuff I've heard about in the new season makes me think that I am not too excited about seeing that.

The dude who plays Homelander tho is awesome, apparently he's a real asshole irl too I guess that helps with his acting lol.
He's like adult Joffrey from GoT.

There's a lot of gore in the show, for sure. It is meant to be dark, gritty and at times downright disturbing by default though (Seth Rogan is responsible for some of that). By that logic though I guess it might not be for everyone, and that's okay too. It is a satire of our modern world, with superheroes as corrupt celebrities. It is slightly hypocritical coming from Amazon though, but eh. lol But yeah, Antony Starr is truly on another level. He steals every scene he is in. He makes Homelander the character you hate to love but love to hate. His acting is absolutely incredible. The entire cast is very solid, but he stands tall above the rest.
