    It is a guilty pleasure that is dulled greatly for me by the knowledge that it suffers from the Rorschach problem where the themes/criticism/subtext/parody (whatever you want to call it) sails over a vast swath of the audience's head. Also, it is somewhat tiring watching terrible people be terrible; I get enough of that at work.

    Still, I cannot get Soldier Boy's cover of Blondie's "Rapture" by way of C.W. McCall out of my head.

      I get what you mean, someone last s2 was fb posting about homelander and he is one of those people i find...concerning.

      But you can't really fix their broken brain and i'm not gonna let that detract from the fun i'm having watching this show. To me the reddit meltdown of blue hawk and homelanders is like a cherry on top to me. You feel betrayed by your favorite show? I feel betrayed and upset every day I spend in this godforsaken shithole. They can get fucked for all I care.

      The show can be a little much sometimes. It's really rough around the edges.
