Broadly this series narrates how superpower could become a great abuse and those having it could use it to their benefit. With great power comes great responsibility but what happens if the responsibility is written off. Its quite action packed, quick and eventful. Especially when you see how ordinary humans try to put a check on superhumans. In some scenes the leverage they put against superhumans don't sound convincing enough. As well there are some fight sequences between super heros which are thrilling.

...But the writing has frequent low points, and every scene feels stretched to fill the timeslot, so to speak. I wanted to like it but I found myself flicking forward on the PS4 controller multiple times in each conversation without missing anything important. I blame the script and directing mostly. (Who sits on a small bench right next to a total stranger, in the middle of a wide open grassy park, and then holds an emotional cell conversation?)

There have been a few attempts recently to make a Super Hero anti hero series and most have failed through bad scripting, lame acting, and just poorly though out plot lines. This series The Boys knocks it up another notch. First season so far has a good balance and great storyline, interwoven plots and well thought out characters. Casting is also very superb. It has great re-watchable value and the human frailties and quirks shown in acting make the performances so believable. This series has a future as long as they don't cancel it too soon or run out of original ideas.

Season 1 was great but this new season has become nothing but lazy writing and cliche driven drama. Very disappointing.

I have watched Season 1 three times all the way through and I enjoyed it every single time. So I was obviously excited that they were doing a Season 2! But I am at episode 5 and it is a total disappointment. Nothing like Season 1. Its just plain boring! So can only give 5 stars sorry

Offensive, Vile, Paranoid, Violent, Perverse, Dehumanising, Base. For some reading these adjectives, this will be a positive review, "Gotta see this, just love lurking around in the dark!" For me this is an indictment against a growing trend in art to elevate the vile and stigmatize hope or goodness. This message is all the more dangerous when marked by good performances, a powerful production, and digested by an immature audience (and I don't just mean chronologically). Good and evil have been apart of the world's framework since the beginning, but, folks, when our creative communities slander and misrepresent good as evil and frame life as inevitable moral failure, they precondition our culture to see a future without hope or choice. I won't support this project and rank it as a 3 (vile) out of 10. {Super Hero Noir}

Incredible story, super heroes realities and twisted life. the Boys is an incredible series, well written and i can't wait the second season
