Released nearly a year ago, the third season of “The Boys” on Amazon Prime Video remains some of the best TV we’ve watched in the last 12 months. The anti-colorful comic book series follows Jack Quaid and Karl Urban as two operatives trying to take down superhero mega-company Vought International, who make up the superhero team known as the Seven. The Seven, in turn, are led by Antony Starr‘s Homelander.
Homelander is the antithesis of DC’s Superman or Marvel’s Captain America. He has all the power (and more) but none of their moral compass. He is an egomaniac who outrightly believes he is better than everyone else and he relishes the dark deeds and violence the show has become so known for. But New Zealander Starr, who previously headlined “American Gothic,” “Banshee,” and “Tricky Business,” transforms Homelander from what could have been a standard evil villain into...

In this roundup from the Encore and Mumbrella Annual, we present the year’s biggest TV flops.
1. Everybody Dance Now
Rumoured to have cost in excess of $10m, Everybody Dance Now was the biggest flop of 2012. From host Sarah Murdoch’s stiff delivery to the flawed format, the show was a write off from episode one. Ten were keen to turn it around, shortening the episodes and rejigging the show’s structure, but not even Murdoch’s pleas on Twitter to get the public to give it another shot were enough to save this disaster.
2. Bikie Wars
From the producers of Underbelly, Bikie Wars should have delivered. Instead it gave us bad wigs, bad acting and was a poor man’s Sons of Anarchy.
3. I Will Survive
How could a talent show with the ultimate goal being to play the part of a drag queen in a stage show possibly be a ratings bomb?...
