Quoted from Zack


The trailer didn't impress me either. Shame, cuz I love Karl Urban.

As for The Walking Dead, I actually really like the first 2 seasons, after that it really goes downhill...


Karl Urban's accent in The Boys is terrible. It's like he thinks everyone in the UK speaks like Jason Statham lol.

It's pretty much the way it's written in the comics. Spot on actually. So it's not about what he thinks, it's about the way the character actually talks.

How can you write a bad accent into a comic? I think you are referring to dialect.

The accent was terrible and inconsistent - but I assumed it was on purpose to go with the rest of the tone of the series. It worked for me as I found it amusing

Finished the season, and I'm with James that the conspiracy as presented here would have been uncovered by any of dozens of foreign or domestic agencies long before The Boys came along.

I know they have source material to loiter near (and I am completely unfamiliar with said source material), but it would have been much better to have an agency or two in on the conspiracy throwing The Boys off the track.

I'm guessing the disproportionate attention to buzzing insects and The Deep were intentional seeds for Season 2 (otherwise they are really bizarre directing choices).


Feature-length scripts:
Who Wants to Be a Princess? (Family)
Glass House (Horror anthology)

TV pilots:
"Kord" (Fantasy)
"Mal Suerte" (Superhero)

Additional scripts are listed here.

Enjoyed this a lot. Thought it rode a good balance with the dark comedy. I don't remember it ever going too far into slapstick territory. Most of it was pretty dark. Everything with the main bad guy was disturbing. He was compelling every second he was on screen and is probably the best thing about the show.

There's so many little things I want to mention but I don't want to spoil anything. And I saw it two weeks ago with lots of Maker's Mark so I've forgotten most things.

If you're on the fence because of the trailer, I say give it a chance. There's nothing else quite like it. Well, except for the source material it's based on...

Lastly, I do believe that everyone in the UK talks like Jason Statham. If they don't, they should.


That rug really tied the room together.

Brillliant in every way. And I don’t like Super Hero stuff. Best bad guy ever and some seriously good writing. I enjoyed it so much I can forgive an accent so bad I literally couldn’t work out if he was English or Australian.
