How good is this? I was able to watch the first episode for free and loved it so I purchased a month at $7.99 just so I can watch this whole show.

I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. The Falcone chick and Colin Farrel were great. I’m looking forward to Batman 2 even more now.

I finished it this morning and just bumped the spoiler thread.

I thought it was really good. I’m not a big comic fan nor am I averse either.

There is a lot of good story telling and acting packed into 8 episodes.


ETA: It's also not for the faint of heart.

Excellent, one of the better comics series, takes place right after the latest Batman movie. It's a continuation without the bat.

Hands down, the best show on Max last year IMO, if not all the streaming services.

I thought the show was very enjoyable and had me wanting to watch the next episode immediately.

Not spoiling anything.. but episode 4 was disturbing

Good? frick no. It’s great. I did not have any interest to watch this, then I decided to give it a chance based on all the positive reviews. Turned out to be my favorite series of 2024. It’s must watch tv

It’s a shame James Gunn is probably going to kill this Bat-verse in favor of the cartoony crap.

Max is one of the best streaming services. Keep it. There’s way better stuff on there than The Penguin.

I enjoyed it. I've suggested it to other people, and some have said something along the lines of "I don't like comic book shows."

I had to explain to them that its a gangster show. There's no superhero aspect to it.
