if i had to rank my top 3 favorite tv shows, it would go Community, The Office and The Big Bang Theory. after that is Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Everybody Hates Chris. i recently started watching a show called The Boys. it is excellent. i honestly think its super interesting and i really like the commentary on political society and how it uses satire to portray it. obviously i tell my friends this and they make fun of me but i dont care. i think its super interestiung. if you know the show, you know the horrible amounts of gore, killing and sex and most people might be taken off by that but honestly if you look past the horrible human atrocities and disgusting acts of violence and lust in the show, you realize that everything in it is a metaphor. Homelander essentially represents patriotic america and the constant violence, Maeve represents the LGBTQ community and how they're often taken as a joke and treated badly, Hugie represents the actual civilians who get affected when these "supes" do their "saving" (called collateral damage in the show) and theres so much more. honestly, i think its a great show that uses satire to bring its point of political commentary in a more domesticated way for the viewers, by using superheroes. its fantastic. although the comic is awful.
