The Boys is a dark comedy about superheroes who abuse their power for fame and reputation of their names ( in the presence of their company ) . Or you can say this show exploits the dark side of superheroes .... With our main character Butcher and his " Boys " try to bring these superheroes down . I dont want to spoil much since this show is so good especially on the second season which is more darker and more gripping than the first season with the addition of Stormfront ( another Homelander ) . That's just my opinion . Take it Easy
