Yeah! The first of hopefully many seasons of Rogen, Goldberg and Kripke's extremely well-cast and at times quite insane new show about what the world would probably actually be like if crooked superheroes existed is a blast from beginning to end. Way to go, Antony Starr, who's great as Homelander. And Karl Urban for president!

Hardly subversive or groundbreaking. I'd say it's pretty par-for-the-course as both a modern, gritty, irreverent, underdog, antihero story (see Daredevil, Punisher, Preacher), and as a tired hypocritical anti-corporate lip service piece from freaking Amazon. AMAZON produced a show about a huge company putting on a show of righteousness to cover up callous greed and condescending misanthropy. Hmmm.

The evil corporation who experiments on babies is from Fringe, a corporation running hero bussiness is from One Punch Man, all that PR for supes things are from Hancock, weird and pervert supes are from Watchmen... even Butcher is a version of Ahab. So, it's not "original" but still very enjoyable.

It's good TV but it's massively toned down, leaving it without the grit, bite and darkness of the comics. It's like a remake of Schindler's list with Amon Göth portrayed as a reluctant killer, only committing genocide due to drugs, repressed sexuality and peer pressure. The Supes of the comics were callous creatures that cast their humanity aside to revel in the debaucheries of absolute power. I liked that, this TV series is not that.

The corporate super-heroes theme and what it might entail is original and the story has a way of unfolding in interesting directions. I have had enough of the revisionist superhero stuff, but this one is fun to watch and the subtlety of the evilness of Homelander is a strong point. Urban and Quaid excel in their roles, although Butcher's storyline and behavior have some potholes. Ennis as a writer tries to put you off for fun of it and that shows in the series too, which I don't like much.

Maybe the most cynical thing I've ever seen? And I like that. There are definitely moments where it gets a little too reddit/keyboard warrior (especially re religion), but it more than makes up for its faults. I am definitely looking forward to the next season.

Seasons 1-2 felt like a satire of Marvel/DC films. 3 was throwing the most outrageous stuff on screen that the show-runners could get away with. But what they all had in common was strong characters and a plot that had a lot of pomp but went nowhere. The latest season simultaneously felt very been-there-done-that on the visuals but that there finally was a plot where there were stakes and at the end the state of the world itself hangs in the balance. I'm quite excited for the finale.

expected lots of grey, but it's pretty black and white for its premise. if you strip away all the labels, it's just your classical david vs. goliath stuff with almost offensively clean moral positions (even on terrorism, yay!). it quickly becomes the same dynamic i thought it'd challenge, making it well executed, but predictable. that said, even despite some plotholes, conveniences and brushed over threads, it's an okay watch with great casting and some nice jabs at society, especially early on.

Possibly the best example of an adaptation improving on a graphic novel source, which was rife with early 2000's grimdark rapey humor. Starr's Homelander is a fantastic supervillain wrapped in the flag, torn between his seething psychopathy and his desperate need for mass adulation. The violence in this, though cartoonish, is at the top of the pile in terms of what can be shown in a mainstream show (along with maybe the Hannibal series). Unfortunately S3 & S4 had big spinning-our-wheels energy.

It does actually work, once it gets going. The focus on corporate culture elevates it above obvious inspirations like Watchmen, whose super heroes, for all their "grayness", have as little to do with the real world as any DC/Marvel character.

Dropped score on S4--the political aspects are an interesting satire, but the continual escalation of hyper violence makes it hard to watch. Some great acting (The subtle stuff from Ryan is great). Enjoyed the more subtle character piece aspects of Homelander, but some of the maniacal aspects were tiresome

The Boys shies from no topic in its universe that combines Superman with Mad Men. How do you market superheroes? Are superheroes inhuman in the sense that they don't get jealous, petty, scared, angry or horny? What if they do? Absolute brilliance in subverting expectations within the over-saturated genre. Seen up to season 3.

3 seasons in: Really on the nose a lot both to its benefit and detriment. Cynical, bloody, funny, grotesque. Its a big mixed bag mostly pulling out winners. Certainly has a political point of view but isn't overly nice to its own side. I dig it. If you like blood and guys really into milk, you'll probably like it.

The Boys has what any other great TV show has and that is an awesome cast of characters that you care about,an incredibly interesting and unique world that you want to revisit every week and an easy to follow but at the same time unpredictable story.Urban plays the perfect charming asshole in Billy Butcher and Starr's Homelander not only provides the perfect antagonist but gives one of the best villain performances of all-time.Oh,and that oh so beautiful gore is used in jaw-dropping ways.

S2. Karl Urban and Antony Starr steal the show, the latter is phenomenal. The show is laugh-out-loud hilarious, packed with energy and most importantly not afraid to step out of the all-so-boring Zeitgeist and pop culture norm these days, apart from the profane mocking of Christ, now standard for satanic Hollywood. The Boys is strongest when it has no censor and mocks even polit-correctness and woke culture. Went down hill in S2. Cringe feminist drivel, e.g. the "girl fight scene".

The Boys excels at creating despicable antagonists much more than it does likable protagonists. The show relishes in its ultra-violence, while shallowly satirising consumerism, mega-corporations and public misinformation, brought to you by a platform responsible for 2 out of 3 of those things. Weirdly, the USA is bad narrative feels like punching down at this point. By the end of S02, admittedly I'm reasonably engrossed. Hopefully the show doesn't outstay its welcome.

It feels like this is what Watchmen (the movie, not the excellent comic) wanted to be. The Boys touches on themes of materialism, celebrity, and human nature while really leaning into its graphic and violent source material (and I mean, it gets dark with a capital D.) It's an often shocking, usually pretty funny, and darkly entertaining look at a flipflopped universe where the superheroes are the ones we need to be protected from. Well-acted, well-produced, and an adrenaline shot to the arm.

A refreshing and darkly humorous take on what would happen if superheroes really existed - and not like Watchman's fantasy "what-if" world, but our actual world. Corporate corruption and abuse of power is the name of the game. The Boys themselves are a lovable gang of assholes of every stripe, but what really makes this work is Antony Starr's chilling performance as Homelander. Season 1 was pretty good, but seasons 2 and 3 elevate this some of the best television out there.

S1: 80 | S2: 70 | S3: 90 | S4: 80 | While incredibly violent, it’s also a fresh and very entertaining twist of the superhero genre. It feels fairly realistic as far as answering the question “what if we had real superheroes?”. The characters are interesting enough, even if most of them are despicable. It’s not as action heavy as you’d expect, but it does well enough without it. Worth seeing if you don’t mind the gore.

Incredible show. Very funny, and the satire is very well done. However it falls off for season 4. That season introduced uninteresting supes and the political situation strayed from satire to too closely trying to weave in real world dynamics. It felt lazy. But even with that stumble, the show is one of the better ones I've seen recently.

Frenchies arc is bad and they both become fake cheerfl static chrctrs.

It's so good. Ilove the character build-up and also the redemption. **SPOILER ALERT!!** I found myself hating Ashley and A-Train in the first season, but then they eventually grew on me. If season 4 me told season 1 me how they're the goats, I would've bitch-slapped myself. The villain, Homelander, I somewhat understand. His character is so complex and well-written. I hate him yet I want to understand more about his character and backstory. Nbd asks but my favs r vicky, hughie and kimiko 🙏

Equal parts brilliant & overtly idiotic, subtly layered & in-your-face, poignant & hilarious, The Boys is the greatest TV satire of the 21st century. From workplace assault to sports-doping scandals to Trumpism to tone deaf ad campaigns to the Snyder cut to the covid Imagine video, no issue escapes the laser eyes of this show. The best part is that if you ever get tired of the bleakness of celebrity culture & corporate supremacy, this show has oceans of laughs & over-the-top gore in between.

I loved the first season but the second was trying hard to map itself to the real political world and that was distracting. Season 3 was fine. Season 4 finishes the job season 2 started and goes full "Republicans are racist pigs" which is lazy and just stupid - even if you believe this, the political structure with supes obviously wouldn't be anything like our own. S4 even includes a hilariously mistimed attempt at framing any use of the 25th amendment on Biden - sorry, Singer - as a coup.

A whirlwind of unending depravity that was difficult to watch. It's a world where each episode's goto fellowship is always a death pact and goto kryptonite is always a social media posting. The same ugly screenplay elements repeat sickeningly often (perverse sexuality, sexual violence, revenge, blackmail, cuckoldry, the list goes on). Any merit you'd assign to a cinematic view of narcissism is marred by the onslaught of supernatural and disturbing sex and gore scenes.

Only rating S1: I really enjoyed it at first, thinking finally something comes along that gives a more realistic look at superheroes and challenges the insipid tropes and clichés that are so prevalent in the genre. But then it falls in the same trap by reinforcing those tropes and becoming very predictable and cliché itself. It's partly entertaining, but ultimately it frustrates me more than it excites. Frustrating!

This day and age we get a lot of superhero shows/movies that play by a similar rulebook. This breaks that. I don't want EVERY superhero thing to be this dark and subversive but I really appreciate when you get a good one. I tend to prefer darker things anyway.

Dizi hikayesini öylesine güzel kuruyor ki derinlikli bir neden sonuç ilişkisinde, sorulan doğru sorulara nitelikli doğru cevaplar verdikçe hayran bırakıyor. Bu zamana kadar bu diziyi izlemeyip hayatıma son 1 senedir nasıl devam etmişim, anlayamadım.

Good fun but its immature representation of good v bad - in people, politics, religion, violence etc. - does nothing to progress the white christian nationalist themes of superhero stories. I know it doesn't claim to, but I'm always hopeful that each newcomer will.

Ennesimo rovesciamento di prospettiva sui supereroi, rappresentati come divi narcisisti e fuori di testa. L'idea alla base è buona, il problema è che più si va avanti più si esagera con la violenza fine a se stessa. Al netto delle scene splatter restano una trama debole e dei protagonisti sempre uguali a loro stessi. Nella quarta stagione poi la trama non c'è proprio, solo momenti sempre più folli e grotteschi. Si salvano giusto i venti minuti finali, che lasciano intuire sviluppi interessanti.

Run of the mill, hollywood superhero crap posturing as something edgy. Well, it isn't. Really. Deus-ex-machinas, plot holes and plot armors, long winded dialogs and all around ridiculousness abound. So many worned out tropes it's not even funny. Also typical SJW crap: stronk women, people of color, homosexuality, bashing and ridiculing Christianity (a whole episode for that), subversive moral ambiguity, trust your government. I liked the villain though. Antony Starr's work here is impeccable.

I love this series so far. It is essentially how superheroes would act in reality. Bought out corporate sponsored A-listers who think they're better than the rest of us. It is a pretty gritty take on the whole superhero genre that is hard to turn off. I cannot wait for the second season!

Shamelessly entertaining. The dynamic between the titular "Boys" is a stupid delight. I never for a second believe that they are capable of the things they manage to do, which makes it all feel a little too unreal and lacking real consequences. Karl Urban and Antony Starr are operating at maximum "ACTING" and the screen sizzles when they are present. The brutality is a welcome change in the superhero genre, but it doesn't achieve anything beyond brutal, well paced fun.
