An original take on the superhero genre with a beautifully hostile, unpredictable environment created by ego-driven temper-tantrums of a super-powered man baby. All backed by a well-oiled PR machine presenting him and his team as world saving superheroes to be adored and worshipped by the populace.

This is well done, packaged together with a deeply dark comedic approach, as The Boys, a group of normies, try to thwart the powered villains and the corporation that backs them. The story is beautifully character driven with each of the main characters fully fleshed out with world-impacting strengths and weaknesses. Despite numerous plot holes, the one thing that holds fast is the adherence to characterisation and inner motivations driving all actions for better or worse..

Following a fabulous season two, an eagerly awaited season three is about to drop. The follow over from two is excellent and sets up numerous mouth watering possibilities.
