Idk how the person never has never heard of it before. It's not like Netflix are subtle about promoting their original series.

I've never heard of it either so seems plausible to me

Neither have I and I have the damn screenshot saved. It also looked so utterly meh that I never bothered ever looking it up in the first place. Like this still easily could have passed for the cover of some daddy/mommy porn superhero series with how cheesy it looks.

It wasn't amazing, but I thought it was pretty decent. Still prefer The Boys though. More exploding dicks in that show.

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I remember the firecracker willy in genV. Was there one ( or more ) also in The Boys?

Never heard of it and I'm chronically online.

I’ve also never heard of or seen this show

It looks like power ranges meet marvel.

[–] Zorque@kbin.social 7 points 10 months ago

It's more like Boardwalk Empire meets Invincible.

But don't expect the same level of quality.

I have never heard of it, and didn't know where this picture was from.

It's also highly dependent on viewing history. There's a ton of Netflix originals I've never seen because I don't watch that kind of show. I don't think I've ever had Bridgerton thrown in my face, but it's just not my kind of show. This and that one with Mike Meyers I've seen a ton of the time, though.

Never heard of it until now, I'm online all the time. Cancelled Netflix 6 months ago since the quantity and quality balance of their content wasn't worth it anymore with all the price increases.

Never heard of it. Netflix also likes to put you in little niche bubbles as soon as you show interest in one genre.

It felt like it had, at most, a month of advertisement, came out, people realized that was Thad Hamilton and not Raylan Givens, and then it was ignored even by the people who insist that Millar is not a hack.

Also doesn't help that all the action was horrible. And it was almost instantly compared to The Old Guard where Charlize Theron continued to demonstrate why "dancer with some gymnastics background" is nigh perfection for "visible face" action sequences with stunt actors and masked putties.

I saw promos for this show for weeks after it had been cancelled and I’d watched the whole thing.
