The Boys
Set in a world where the Superheroes aren't all that heroic, this is quite a good series, I've just finished S01 of 3 so far.

Be warned. It gets much, MUCH darker. And S01 is pretty dark.warshipadmin wrote: ↑Sat Dec 03, 2022 9:51 pm Set in a world where the Superheroes aren't all that heroic, this is quite a good series, I've just finished S01 of 3 so far.

Well bugger, as they say. A breath of fresh air, Stormfront, female non-wimp supe, (a) falls in lurv with Homelander rather unconvincingly, and then (b) gets revealed as the 100 yo wife of Voight's founder and a high up in Nazi society (not a bad plot development) and then (c) gets barbecued by a spoiler. Of the other characters Edgar is rapidly turning into an excellent foe.
It's a shame she's been written out, she was a great contrast to Maeve and Starlight. So that's S2 done and dusted.

Re: The Boys
There's a spinoff series called Gen V, sort of Buffy meets the Supes. The first 2 episodes are awful, then it kicks into gear and is pretty good from then on, except for S1E6 which is just a massive plotdump. So many plotlines are left dangling at the end (E8) you just know this one is going to S2.

Re: The Boys
Gen V season 2 was free lit before season 1 released.
So far… The Boys season 4 is making me shit my pants. And I don’t have my shitting pants on.

Re: The Boys
Boys S4 got good reviews by the critics but fairly heavily slammed by the amateurs on Rotten Tomatoes. I'll wait for the whole season to finish before watching it.

Re: The Boys
It has good and bad moments. Soldier boy I season 3 was awesome.
