"The Boys" is unique, jocular, and most importantly a layered iteration of Superhero storytelling. A rudimentary example of an aptly incorporated satire that rests among the facets of black comedy & unfettered gore!

As a fervent fan of Comicbook movies, I was eager to see what sort of narration this show brings to the table! After witnessing two seasons so far; I can safely say, it is unquestionably a fascinating piece of art.

A Social Satire depicting toxic Celebrity Cultures & unmasking the dual-faced personalities that our so-called 'Idols' inherit. Politics, Religion, Race; pick any contentious subject matter and you would find the obvious trails in here. Looks like the makers knew exactly how to cash in on the relevant issues people talk over nowadays!

This kind of narrative might not appeal to everyone but if you can keep your conscience clear enough; it's quite worthy of your time I figure! Diversified characters and fairly eminent performances from the entire ensemble will help you during those proceedings. Specifically, two prominent names come out in front! Karl Urban as 'Butcher' and Antony Starr as 'Homelander'; two immaculate enactments that do leave a solid impression.

That being said, the Screenplay does suffer from recurrent phases of languor. Moreover a slew of brusque edits worsened the eventual outlook.

Therefore, it appears to be more prolonged than necessary. Albeit I gotta admit: Season one didn't have half the concerns the second one seems to bear!

Nevertheless, I look forward to its continuation!

Season 1 - 8/10 Season 2 - 7/10.
