As the title suggests, "The Boys" initially captured the audience with a fresh, gripping narrative in Seasons 1 and 2. These early seasons excelled, offering a unique blend of dark humor and sharp commentary that kept viewers eagerly engaged. However, as the series progressed into Season 3, a subtle shift began to emerge, suggesting an increasing alignment with a particular socio-political narrative. By the time we reach Season 4, the underlying themes have transitioned into overt agenda-driven storytelling, akin to the proverbial toad slowly being boiled. The initial ingenuity and raw edge seem overshadowed by a pronounced emphasis on specific ideological undertones. For those who relish the original vibrancy and audacity of "The Boys," my recommendation is to savor the brilliance of the first two seasons. Beyond that point, the show transforms into something markedly different, which might not resonate with every viewer's tastes.

As a South African it always surprises me how much violent crime exists in South Africa and barely makes the news because in order to live and function in a hostile environment you don't want to be reminded just how bad it really is. I was surprised to learn of how many serial killers existed in South Africa without hearing about it in the news. The reality is violent crime in South Africa is some of the worst statistically speaking in the world. Also SA has the highest rape count in the world. This series is brilliantly done,the cinimatography the writing and the acting was impressive! 10/10 for me!
