Summary
Reviewers say 'The Boys' is lauded for its fresh superhero narrative, merging dark humor, thrilling action, and social critique. It delves into corporate greed, power corruption, and moral complexities. Karl Urban and Antony Starr deliver standout performances. Yet, some criticize its shock tactics, graphic violence, and political undertones, especially in later seasons. A segment of the audience feels the show has strayed from its original appeal, becoming more intricate and less captivating.

Just finished watching the four first episodes. The pilot has to be one of greatest pilots I've ever seen. It has everything and I was hooked immideately. And it keeps getting better. I didn't know I needed this. It's really bold and a fresh wind for TV.
Can't say I recall seeing Anthony Star in any films (and I'm an Aussie) but his performance as Homelander is really something else - someone give him an award. Can't wait for next season, and more projects with Star.

Excellent dystopian reimagining for Superhero nerds. Surprising, violent, always twisting. Binge-watched in 2 days! So glad for a second season, though will be so impatient! Thumbs up.
Want to see what it would really be like with super heroes around? Check this out! No kids play here folks....not for kids. Best damn series on right now....about time!
Having being all superheroed out with the never ending train of films this is so much welcome relief. It's not for kids and I love the choice language which is appropriate.
