Raising Dion on Netflix is binge-worthy ..
Good show IMO.
I , also , found "The Boys" offensive but it is realistic. Witnessing the behavior of so may in power, that of many of the superheros in "The Boys" is more likely than the agonizing angst of Marvel characters ...
A bit of OT. I would love Netflix to come up with a better interface. They have tons of movies and shows but finding these is difficult to impossible... Contrast this to the brilliance of Spotify and to a much lesser extent Roon ... Through these services, especially Spotify, I have discovered so much more music...

Elmore Leonard translates well to TV and film. Mostly.

Are you old enough to remember the kids animated show featuring Marvel heroes (using that horrible Speed Racer animation)? The theme song actually said, "neurotic super hero", I wonder how many kids asked their parents what that meant.
Meet a sulky, over-bulky, kinda Hulk-y superhero
A two-fisted and electrically-transistored superhero
An exotically neurotic and aquatic superhero,
The Marvel Super Heroes have arrived!
Super-powered from their forehead to their toes...
Watch 'em change their very shape before your nose!
See a cane-striking superhero change to Viking superhero
A hum-dingin', real swingin', shield-flingin' superhero
They're the latest, they're the greatest, ultimate-est superheroes,
The Marvel Super Heroes have arrIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVED!

I really liked the books, but I think the small changes and the character they added for TV made sense.
Same here. Not being familiar with the game or books, I had to check with a friend that I wasn't going mad (or senile).
I'm a highbrow binge watcher, so I've been watching the Criterion Channel and various other artsy-fartsy highbrow things. I like to feel virtuous about my binge watching, when all I'm doing still is sitting on my ass watching TV.
On a related point, I have felt very little interest in listening to music or reading during this entire epidemic. Before the epidemic, I recreationally read 1,000+ pages of books per week. I've covered a whopping 47 pages of my current book since March 12. I don't know what explains this behavioral change, and I doubt I'm alone.

Nice, I love that film, I know very few people who have even heard of it!
I enjoyed that one a lot.
Maybe we've become more passive?

Same here - my music room is separate from the house and I think I've just wanted to spend more time in the house with my family as the kids are home from university.
Been watching re-runs of Inspector Montalbano - we spent a wonderful two weeks in Montalbano country a couple of years ago. Stunning scenery, ate at Montalbano's favourite restaurants, got the car stuck down a street only wide enough for a donkey to pass (Satnav had done well up until then) and discovered some great beers. Travelled across that bridge in the opening sequence most days, but nothing prepared me for Scilian drivers!
Looks like another two episodes have just been finished so hoping the BBC carries them soon.
I liked that one as well. I also enjoyed The Watchmen.
Or real life has gotten more 'interesting'?
I think the intrusion of state might well be causing some to be more passive overall than they would normally be.
But yes you may very well just be knackered lol.
Congratulations by the way
Alex Garland also wrote The Beach (filmed with Leonardo Di Caprio), Sunshine and Annihilation amongst others. I see that Sonoyo Mizuno stars in Devs, who was also in Annihilation and Ex Machina... https://www.imdb.com/video/vi133790...20495&ref_=nm_vd_nsp_ce_hd&listId=ls025720609
