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.

Thirding The Boys. Yes it’s blood soaked, but in a comedic style. It’s very cleverly written and a 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’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.
