Among the best Sci Fi shows I’ve ever seen. I’ve read the book series 3 times and on my 3rd watch through of the show. I’m biased (Sci Fi is about all I watch/read) but it’s truly one of the greats.

I watched 2 episodes of it and thought the acting was terrible. It reminded me a lot of Battlestar Galactica. That being said, I have several friends that rant and rave about it and keep telling me to try it again.

I love everything you mentioned (including Patriot), but it's nothing like those regarding production since it's very slow and the humor is dry, dark and not always easily noticeable. It's a slow burner, which is exactly the opposite of any Oceans x or Guy Ritchie.

In any case I recommend it, the premise was enough to get me to sign up.

As someone who watches the show and read the comics, I agree with that wholeheartedly but it doesn't detract from my enjoyment of the show. I just have to treat them as 2 separate things. Much like Walking Dead where the comic is awesome to me but I thought the show is terrible. The Boys is a good comic and a good show but only if you don't attempt to resolve the two as being related.
