These times we live in are not my favourite. People lack uniqueness, the social media situation is out of control, information and knowledge have little to none value, and most movies have a number in the title. No I am not talking about the 101 Dalmatians but all the sequels, reboots, crossovers and whatnots. And superhero theme is at core of this problem, I think. Naturally, I have been very sceptic about this show then. But my oh my, was I taught a lesson. Although most characters in The Boys lack depth, those that have been dealt with more dimensions feel very real and most of all I would like to bow before Anthony Starr for his, in my opinion, astonishing performance filled with so many emotions and understanding that not only you will believe that this creature really exists, you will feel for it. Great job by Karl Urban, Liz Shue and Erin Moriarty as well.. Story is quite simple but good, no excessive CGI, not many cliches, loved the dark humour.. But overall this show is being held together by great performances and Anthony Starr deserves a Golden Globe.
