I was not a fan of The Boys, finding myself ultimately very turned-off by its cruel nihilism. In my review, I wrote: “It is void of hope, and void of heart. But that’s also the point. In the end, it’s a conflicting show – I’m horrified by what it’s selling, but I’m supposed to be. I walked away feeling utterly miserable. So…mission accomplished, I guess?”
I seem to be in the minority here, though, as most folks are getting a kick out of the show. So to those of you who dug the show, I ask: would you have liked to see the scene where Homelander jerks off and climaxes “all over New York City”? Or was it wise to just leave this on the virtual cutting room floor?
The Boys is now streaming.
The Boys is an irreverent take on what happens when superheroes, who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians and as revered as gods, abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. It’s the powerless against the super powerful as The Boys embark on a heroic quest to expose the truth about the supergroup known as “The Seven.”
