All of the acting has been quite enjoyable. I’m loving the actors who play Norm and Betty, they sell me so well on their respective B plots.

Oh absolutely. I just have a huge crush on Goggins for some reason, he is captivating. But yes every single actor deserves recognition for how much clear love for the world they all obviously have. Lucy is fantastic, Maximus is perfect poor little guy and his volcel pledge. Thadeus the squire turned ghoul trying to buddy up to Goggins. Everything about this show is perfect. Even tons of fan service with nods to the first two. My big question now is:

Major spoiler

Is the supermutant a recurring character or possibly a character we have already seen as a human?

Jokes aside, this thread is making me want to check out the show which had I'd otherwise ignored so heck yeah.

Oh definitely watch it. It's by far my favorite current airing slop. And not just current, easily one of the best shows in the last 10 years, and I would argue ever.

The Boys is good in terms of social commentary but this just feels timeless. Obviously aided by it being rooted in the immediate post soviet collapse of a certain alt history. There is just, at risk of sounding pretentious, a sort of je ne sais quoi in the way it captures and distills the themes and moral quandries of the games while at the same time pointedly skewering capitalism and liberalism that really tickle me.
