Amazon Prime has really captured a new essence of the superhero franchise and the recent burnout most have felt with both the MCU and DCEU is completely gone in the boys. It's more than blood, gore and dark humor with deeper themes delving into corruption and the dark side of the American dream.

The performances are absolutely amazing, and especially homelander and billy butcher are two standouts that will immediately become fan favorites. The show makes you care and hate the characters. You understand their emotions and reasoning for their actions. All around this is a niche' series for certain people. If you have a dark sense of humor and enjoy much more than just serviceable TV this is a definite watch.

9/10.
