I don't get all the hype around this show.

Butchers use of the C word shows very little imagination from the writers apart from the need to shock, he is unlikable even more so than some of the pathetic supes.

Homelander is a pretentious, self obssessed, narcissist bore (they could have got Trump to play this part and he would have made a better fist of it. The Deep is a pointless character while the whole Vought enterprise is farcical using supes to cover up a drugs empire!

I got part way through series two and decided not to waste anymore time watching Urban ham it up, Starr cock it up and the rest balls it up.

While Patience is pretty good in itself I have given it just six stars as it really doesn't hold a light to the french version, Astrid: Murder In Paris.

The acting is fine but Astrid (played by Sara Mortensen) takes it to awhole new level with the idiosyncrasies and details.

The stories are the same as those from the first series of the french version but just felt a little flat with the interaction between the main characters with the Astrid cast being more connected and their humour adding a bit of fun to the whole thing.

If you haven't seen the french series I implore you to give it a try (if you can stand reading subtitles) as Sara Mortensen is an absolute joy to behold.

Like my title suggests it had its moments but overall it was a big disappointment.

Jimmy Fallon was abysmal, the man can't act!

The whole bike courier sequence at the start was good but the rider bore no resemblence to Queen Latifah at all.

The FBI guy was over the top, another abysmal acting performance.

The NYPD must be sick of film makers making them look like donut eating idiots too.

This would have been a better movie if the actors had been up to the job but alas Fallon, Latifah & co were not.

The humour is average with few moments of real funny stuff.

In summary, terrible acting, naff humour, a complete waste of time.
