hi friends! another poll coming at you!

as we can tell, we are nearing the end of daredevil season 2!

i know i need to finish jessica jones season 1, watch the defenders before season 2 so while we wait for jessica jones to finish i thought i'd add in another show in the place of daredevil for now!

i want to stray from marvel for this show just to keep some variety for my own enjoyment and honestly i think it can be hard to get all the stories straight for me!

so the two options i have are firefly or the boys.

this show would start next week so the earlier you vote the better!

thank you!

Have you seen Doctor Who?

Vedsång

Haven't seen either one yet, so both are fine with me, but I voted for firefly.

Tithann

I don't know if you plan to do it, but at some point you should watch the first seasons of Luke Cage and Iron Fist. The last one is not very well regarded and is a little bit of a disappointment (season 2 was a great improvement in that regard), but it is kind of necessary for the Defenders.

Chucknorrass

I must of misheard somewhere, I swear you said you watched the boys. I must be mistaken obviously.

James Fling

Love both shows, I think you will absolutely love Firefly. It's short, too!

Dan Dedrick

Both are incredible, I only voted Firefly because the series/movie is a shorter timespan

汉刚 何

not so sure if you can handle all the graphic violence scene in the boys

Ben

the boys is super gross and raunchy, the show goes out of it's way to achieve gross

Bryan Fritchie

Firefly is still one of the best shows ever made.

Brian Leonard

Firefly for sure. I could not get into The Boys.

Steve Combs

Honestly, that’s good consideration!

Rileymetal

You should do Black Sails.

ryeiverr

Definitely The Boys, you will be shocked

The Magician

Two good shows. Would be cool to see you watch random films as well. Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, The Batman, Se7en etc.

Firefly I can watch here (on Disney+) The Boys I cannot / will not (on Amazon Prime and I refuse an Amazon account on personal / moral grounds).

Florian Hoyer

icant believe people vote vs the best show ever firefly :) also firefly is a short 13 episodes (and a movies) and boys is so many episodes xD

Travis Starnes

Firefly is one of the best shows ever, and the boys is just ... okay. I get people love it, but I find it kind of boring.

Bogan Cross

I ultimately think that you would enjoy both, but based on what Ive seen from all of your reactions, I think you will like Firefly a lot more. I feel like you get attached to characters and Firefly offers such an amazing cast with so much chemistry. There is so much depth to it that you can rewatch it multiple times and still pick up things. The Boys, while still a good show with great acting isnt quite as deep. Its more in your face and not quite comparable when it comes to character attachment and charisma

Both are great but the Boys is a lot lol , like everything Frank / Punisher does times 10 but it’s a good story

Noble Rabbit

The Boys is a lot more difficult/time consuming to edit, just a heads up. Nearly every scene that elicits a reaction is going to need to be blurred/censored to prevent demonitization on YT.

Ben Hogan

I'm actually kinda surprised the gap is so big between the two, I mean I wouldn't be mad regardless of which won in the end, just would've expected closer race 😮

Josiah Smith

Knowing your tolerance for lots of blood and gore, (even though I haven’t seen it) I’d advise against watching The Boys, as it is very very graphic. Firefly is a much shorter series (haven’t watched it either), and from what I understand, its like a space western, so it’s more closely related to The Mandalorian. What I’d personally recommend (mentioned under your Daredevil S2E11 timer reaction), is watching Luke Cage, and the Punisher next. I’d also include Iron Fist, as both Luke Cage & Iron Fist are pivotal to seeing, before The Defenders. You don’t need to watch The Punisher before the Defenders, but if you like Frank Castles character, and want to understand that corner of the marvel universe a little better, then I’d recommend watching that as well.

This poll can't lose, but let me say this. Both are really well-written shows, but Firefly is more light adventure and humor. The Boys is dark, even the humor. And while Firefly has good actors, the performances in The Boys are fantastic. Also, while Firefly generally elicits great reactions because it's fun and appeals to just about everyone, even those who don't like sci-fi or Westerns, The Boys gets great reactions because it's shocking and has surprising twists (usually in a good way that fits the story, which already takes it a notch above the average show). You really can't go wrong here, but I feel like The Boys might be a little much for your taste, though I'd love to see your reactions.

Louis

Both are amazing. The two shows couldn’t be more different. But the boys….. wild ride

AvatarJordy

The social commentary of the Boys is amazing, and I think you’ve seen enough superhero content to pick up on its clever play on superhero cliches. It can be violent but it’s a REALLY good story- and hilarious. I can’t wait to see your reactions!

Magus

While you dont have to know the characters theres a lot of parody of DC in the boys. it seems clear thats the winner though. Firefly would be a quicker watch. I imagine adding DC movies to the mix of your current roadmap would push the boys out kinda far. and IMO the DC movies arent as good as marvel anyways.

Steve Graham

I have the same conflict with netflix , they'll never get my money

PhillyJ

I don't know if you are going to like The Boys.

Pand

While I like The Boys, I don't think it's a very good fit for you. It's insanely graphic, violent and dark. Firefly is much more light-hearted and fun, plus it's only 13 episodes and a movie.

Magus

I was going to say it might be a bit intense based off her reaction to this show and how her channel was pretty PG before starting This series. Though I believe she has mentioned watching game of thrones so just because she hasn't posted much this graphic on her channel doesnt mean its something she wouldnt enjoy. If shes planning to do both perhaps doing the first episode of each to test the waters would be more appropriate. I guess we will found out. But if were going to get into stuff like The Boys... Then Dexter as one of the next longer running shows? lol

Magus

I mean to be fair I think theres a bigger cross over of Trek fans and Firefly fans than Wars fans and Firefly fans. Wars is more scifi fantasy as where Trek and Firefly and even better The Expanse is more grounded scifi. As where the Boys is super "heroes" though mostly based off DC heroes DC vs Marvel debate aside super powers are super powers.

emmereacts

Yeah i’ve watched some brutal shows before so we will see how it goes! I probably can at least commit 100% to the first season. I have already watched Dexter too!!! Great show

Vedsång

I think 'The Boys' will win this poll. But I will not watch the series or Emme's reactions I am affraid. That would be a first for me on Emme's Patreon and/or YouTube channel.
