    Is Butcher captain Sparrow?

    I don't know if it is Karl Urbans actual kiwi accent, but he sounds more like Jack Sparrow then the first season. I love Stormfront and as said before the Deep sidestory is not neccesary.

    Blackmail galore!!!

    One of the slowest and most boring episodes so far. Blackmailing is essential for the plot to advance and it's really getting old. Every time something important needs to happen, one of "The boys" gets ahold of someone's secret or a video to blackmail with and advance the plot. It was clever at first, now it's just getting lazy and predictable

    Intrigue

    Another solid episode, with a good mix: introducing new characters, shaking up the old ones, a lot of drama, characterisation and intrigue. Really enjoying this so far.

    Phenomenal Show, Blah Episode

    Stormfront is a contrived cliche in a show full of interesting characters. Someone should have rethought this awful character. She not only doesn't fit in, there is no build up or explanation of her character, there also is no coherence as to why she has no rules applied to her. Terrible character.

    Character focused and slow

    Not much happens. Has too many characters with stories that just don't matter to the plot. Qveen Maeve especially. The Deep's part was weird but not in a good way. This show has way too much blackmailing as a solution, doesn't even quite work in this instance.

      Hughie Campbell: Who is the contact? What is their actual name?

      Billy Butcher: You'll love it.

      Hughie Campbell: No, I won't. I won't love it, I never love it. Never fucking love it!
