Not sure why there would be hype behind this series after airing.. In my opinion it was about what I expected. Good source material, but it looked like some poor writing might drag it down. Aaand thats exactly what happened.
The editing style between 30's and current day was poorly done.. One moment you're building a repor with a character through development and then bam thrown back into the 30's, then 1 min later bam back in current day... Some parts were very jarring and didnt feel like smooth story telling.
To me what elevates the series is the story. I love old Scifi so I can look past mediocre CGI.
Give the series a go but put your suspension of disbelief on 9000% for some of the poor writing mistakes and gaps in explaining the story, if you're not up for that. Maybe give this one a miss.
This series is nothing like the boys, forget any comparison to that series besides superpowered people.
This first season was basically just a origin story with a few side plots. The boys was nothing like that.
