So close to good

Warning: Spoilers
Almost a good show. It's different enough from the onslaught of super hero shows to be kind of original. The cheeky Canadian production hurts it with B actors and below average special effects. I can live with that - The Magicians was good enough in other ways to keep you onboard (until the final season). Quick hits:

Casting was good except for Tilda. She's a good actress but wrong for the role, which really is the most important role.

Good music

For a comedy, I really didn't laugh until Owen came in. More Owen would be ok.

There is no single bad guy to focus your hate on. The Boys has that right. There has to be a bad guy!

Finally, the script: it just wondered too much. Everyone should tell a story like they've only got one season to use. If you don't, you may only get one season.
