Celluloid Verdict
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.
Kaiser Khan, Founder & Editor
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 (2019) Review: Superheroes as Corporate Product
★★★★☆
The Boys imagines superheroes as brand-managed celebrities and dangerous tyrants, a savage Prime Video satire led by Antony Starr's unforgettable Homelander.
Yes. It is a filthy, funny and genuinely angry superhero satire with real political bite, best for adults with strong stomachs who can tolerate its sprawl and excess.
