- I know this is a brand new release, but has anyone seen this comic book show based on the books by Mark Millar and Frank Quitely yet?
I watched the first 4 episodes last night and it was quite enjoyable. As with pretty much every comic book based show, the costumes look a little goofy in "real life". Not much you can do about that. I only recognized the main two actors Josh Duhamel and Leslie Bibb from the entire cast. I won't give away any of the plot/story as it's early, but it definitely looks promising.

- I watched the first ep and it was enough for me to continue with it. I'm wondering how close to the comic they will be.

- I finished all eight episodes as of last night. Although not exactly the same story-line as the original comic book, it was close. I don't know if there's going to be a season 2, but it sure ends in a cliffhanger, so I hope so. Overall a pretty good show. Acting was good, fighting and FX was above average. I'm happy.

- Binge-watched all 8 episodes in one go. I thoroughly enjoyed it and was curious as to how close it was to the comics. I have issues 2 - 5 of the first series having missed the first issue so never actually got around to reading it

- Really enjoyed this series. Reminded me a bit of watchmen/TheBoys/Invincible in story and tone. Can't wait for S2.
I know nothing about the comics and it's great that you don't need to for enjoyment. Utopian has to die at somepoint right? For the story to continue. It sure feels that way to me.
