The Boys is not your typical superhero show. The Boys is vulgar, ultra-violent and definitely not for children but if you are an adult, this is the superhero show for you. I think that part of the appeal of The Boys is the fact these heroes are a bit warped. Personally, I believe if we had the equivalent to a real Superman he would be less like Ka-El and more like Homelander.
The first two seasons were highly enjoyable with great acting and exceptional writing. Speaking of the first 2 seasons, Sony is releasing seasons 1&2 ahead of the season 3 premiere on June 3rd.
SEASON 1
THE BOYS is an irreverent take on what happens when superheroes — as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and as revered as gods — abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. It’s the powerless against the super-powerful as The Boys embark on a heroic quest to expose the truth about “The Seven” and their formidable Vought backing.
SEASON 2
In a more intense Season 2 of THE BOYS, Butcher, Hughie, and the team reel from their losses in Season 1. On the run from the law, they struggle to fight back against the superheroes. Meanwhile, Vought, the hero management company, cashes in on the panic over supervillains; and a new hero, Stormfront, shakes up the company and challenges an already unstable Homelander.
