In a world where there are people with super powers would they be heroes or would they abuse their power? The boys looks at a scenario where their powers are abused and how they might be taken down by ordinary citizens. And if you think the MCU has made a fortune from that franchise it doesn't take much imagination to envisage the commercial value of a company that controls(as much as they can) a team of the most powerful super heroes. Having powers doesn't make someone a hero by default. The characters have depth and the casting is perfect. Don't let Karl Urbans London accent put you off. Being from London myself it was annoying me a first. But I've always had a gripe with why thry couldn't just use an English actor but he pulls it off and Anthony Starr as Homelander is excellent. His fake smiles and charm are creepy when you see he's just a psycho with the powers of superman. I absolutely love this show. One of the best series I've watched in years. Hope there's a 4th season and beyond. Enjoy.
