Ok, I despise Amazon, but sometimes you can't find something anywhere else. I now accidentally have 30 days of their TV thing. What should I check out?
Invincible
The Boys
Reacher (S2 is kind of a dog, but still worth watching).
The first two suggestions are violent and I mean VIOLENT
Compare violent to opening sequence S1 American Gods?? Violence is fine by me if it has purpose and plot. That Bone Tomahawk bit was a shock, but made sense.
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.
There was non book set up scene for the undocumented Scandinavian first North Americans.
