In an age of endless mediocre superhero films that attempt nothing more than bringing mild entertainment to the masses, The Boys is here to save the day. What would happen in a world where superheroes are treated as celebrities? Where they are the ones with powers and so they call the shots? That's the central premise of this show.

The Boys begins with a bang, grabbing your attention before you even know it. With such an explosive start, you instantly realize this isn't about heroes saving the day, otherwise there would be a lead up to this scene, rather the show takes a different approach. The Heroes, having saved the day, are celebrated. Soon enough their darker side is exposed to us.

And so begins a tale of good and evil and everything in between. One filled with twists and turns and a variety of morally grey characters, as well as some flat out evil ones (I'm looking at you, Homelander). The characters are so well written and their stories are so well told that you will find yourself sympathizing with characters you hated to begin with.

Some of the subject matter can hit close to home. Questions are asked and statements are also made about the world we live in. In a sense, The Boys takes reality and dresses it up in alluring superhero costumes to make us look at the world around is from a new perspective.

I recommend checking this one out whether you hate superhero movies/shows or whether you love them. This show looks very promising and I can't wait to see where it takes me.
