I think there’s a sense that we are desensitized in this day and age, so some show runners push things even further to try to get a bigger reaction (and start conversation). But… it’s not always necessary. 

I felt this way about shows like The Walking Dead too — though inevitably there would and should be violence, it doesn’t have to be as graphic just to show that they could go there.

It is way too much. Couldn’t agree more. It’s an interesting choice the showrunner made, but I’m not sure it’s for me. 

I am a huge fan of The Boys and it’s grizzly take on the superhero genre. It has always been such a unique point of view to watch the corrupt super hero and Homelander may be one of the best tv villains yet. 

Maybe I am remembering this wrong but I know the first 2 seasons were gory and blood filled and it doesn’t normally bother me that much but is this season taking it too far? 

My husband and I were watching the first episode and got to THAT scene…if you know, you know and just sat there in silence until the end of the episode in complete shock. Which I guess is the point and well done by them if so. 

I’ve always enjoyed the premise of the show and we’ve gotten to episode 4 and it calms down a bit but still I forgot how gross it was and I have had to cover my eyes a few times. So I guess my question is…is it too much or am I just being overly sensitive?

So is this season of the Boys the grossest yet?
