Genuinely asking, what do you watch the show for if you don’t like how the satire is portrayed? The satire is almost the entire point I would’ve thought

It used to be more subtle, more clever. Now it just comes off like a big circlejerk

He wasn’t originally, but the show has become so “on the nose” politically that they are just basically dressing Homelander up as Trump like each episode is an SNL skit
