After all the copy-paste action superhero movies that filled the last decade, The Boys bring some fresh air with its different take on the superhero stereotype. No more paladins of justice but exploitative, manipulative bastards thriving in a capitalistic world where the superhero is now a commodity. It's gritty, dark and hilarious without being pretentious or pandering. Most of all, though, it's just fun. Great characters, acting and an interesting, although at times reused, storyline. Especially the main protagonist and antagonist, elevate the quality of the show presenting two opposing views that coalesce in a communal disregard for the boundaries of good and evil. Definitely worth watching. Hopefully, after the great first season, it will stay on the right track.
