There have been other shows and movies which have tried to give us a realistic take on superheroes but none of them do it as well as "The Boys" does. The Show is dark, violent, gritty and sometimes even humorous. It doesn't pull any punches especially with the amount of violence being displayed. I personally think the shows biggest achievement is bringing in politics and somehow not making it seem forced like most of the shows do nowadays. The Characters are extremely well written and the show has one of the greatest protagonist-antagonist dynamics I have ever seen.

Last but not least, take a bow Anthony Starr. Anthony Starr puts on a terrifying and sometimes a downright disturbing performance as Homelander which is what the character demands. No one else could have played Homelander like he did. In fact the show wouldn't have even 50 percent as good without him. Hats off to him. Homelander will go down as one of the greatest antagonists of all time.
