Its been almost a decade where big studios have been producing some superhero heavy hitters. The Boys is not a superhero movie. Its more a allegory to what would really happen if superheroes existed.

I came to the show being a bit weirded out and angry with actor choices ( I read the comic prior and I feel like the comics themes have not aged well some actor choices were a bit odd)

While the comic shows a much more gore oriented story with shock being shown with grueasome deaths, disturbing fetishes and A LOT OF LGBT unfriendly stuff the shows does a good job with wrestling with this controversy.

If you are looking for a show that will laugh in the face of goody MR.two shoes that we are so used to see on screen and comic books then this one is for you. If you clutch pearls at someone saying the word c***t then it should be a skip for you.
