First of all, I read rhe comic years ago and I am very fond of it. Once a year I give it a re-read, while laughing out loud.

For the ones who loved the comic and are a bit with 'angst': The main difference is that there's less violence and sex in this tv show then in the comic series. And that's a bit of a shame when your adapting an 'Off the hook,very explicit adult (satyric) comic'.

The story's been simplified a bit and is alright to follow (roughly the same, and I expect that they want to make a lot of seasons of it)..

The good news is that they did capture the tone of the comic, and that rhe casting is TOP NOTCH!! Billy the butcher is spot on with these English punchlines, crazy Frenchie, MM is a big bloke with a good heart, Annie the naive Starlight, and the female is very wel cast. The homelander is as obnoxious as in the comic..

Although I didn't like preacher, 'The boys' is quiet allright for a geek like me 😉..and it's defintly enjoyable. But if you like this, then go and let your mind blown by the stunning series by Garth Ennis..
