    Ok, I despise Amazon, but sometimes you can’t find something anywhere else. I now accidentally have 30 days of their TV thing. What should I check out?

          You can just cancel it now, you’ll still get your 30 days free but won’t have to worry about forgetting and having it auto renew. Just ignore all the warnings about what you miss by not having a subscription, they just put them there to make people reconsider cancelling. You are just cancelling the auto-renew of the subscription not the membership itself.

            Thanks, looks like I’m getting the bullshit trial of single episodes, so it can get right in the bin

      Invincible

      The Boys

      Reacher (S2 is kind of a dog, but still worth watching).

      The first two suggestions are violent and I mean VIOLENT

        Compare violent to opening sequence S1 American Gods?? Violence is fine by me if it has purpose and plot. That Bone Tomahawk bit was a shock, but made sense.

          I’m pretty sure the first scene of the Boys someone gets vaporised except for their hands.

          It’s gory as, but somehow with a purpose.

          Thirding The Boys. Yes it’s blood soaked, but in a comedic style. It’s very cleverly written and is a parody and warning of current American politics.

            I’ll Fourth it. I really enjoyed it (although I’ve only seen the first two seasons, as I only use streaming services occassionally)

          I don’t even remember any violence at the start of American Gods. I just remember absolute boredom. I didn’t even finish the first episode the first time I watched it, and then slogged through a few episodes after being assured it would get really good and be worthwhile. Spoiler: it wasn’t. I didn’t enjoy any of it in the slightest.

      I think Sneaky Pete is on Amazon, I was ambivilent about whether I wanted to watch it at all and ended up really enjoying it.
