Vicious, vulgar and razor-sharp — a superhero satire that kept its teeth for five seasons, with Antony Starr's Homelander among the great TV villains.
Celluloid editorial verdict
What is The Boys about?
In a world where superheroes are corporate products — venal, celebrity-addled and lethally unaccountable — a ragtag crew of vigilantes wages asymmetric war on the god-like Homelander and the conglomerate that owns him, in a gleefully profane satire of power and fandom.

Critic Reviews
The Boys Review: Superhero Satire With the Safety Off
★★★★☆
Prime Video's The Boys weaponizes the superhero genre against itself, imagining caped icons as brand-managed celebrities and authoritarian monsters — a gleefully grotesque satire anchored by Antony Starr's terrifying Homelander.
Savage, filthy and sharper than it needs to be — a superhero deconstruction with real political teeth, if occasionally in love with its own excess.
