Superheroes are often as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and sometimes even as revered as gods. But that's when they're using their powers for good. What happens when the heroes go rogue and start abusing their powers? When it's the powerless against the super powerful, the Boys head out on a heroic quest to expose the truth about the Seven and Vought, the multibillion-dollar conglomerate that manages the superheroes and covers up their dirty secrets. Based on the comic book series of the same name.

Critics Consensus

The Boys stays true to its form and completes its mission with ample panache, narrative pay-off, and an excess of blood and guts to deviously glorious effect.

“The Boys” was always made for adults. It’s good to see it going out with them top of mind.

4/5

There are none of the flashes of invention or inspiration that make and have made The Boys great. However, the action comes at you so thick and fast thereafter that it’s easier to overlook the deficiency.

3/5

Though it remains as timely as ever, The Boys’ endgame does take its time putting the pieces in place for the final showdown with Homelander — for both better and worse.

9/10

Eric Kripke makes sure to blend the always entertaining experience of watching its silly humor with a show that features strong political satire. Anthony Starr continues to give one of the best performances on television.

3/5

Endings aren’t easy, and a series like The Boys is definitely going to ruffle feathers on its way out. Nevertheless, The Boys ends about as well as it possibly can and arguably trumps its source material’s conclusion.

Entertainment Voice

It is pop art that can be comforting in a sense, acknowledging that we are living in dark times where mad men wield tremendous power, allowing us to laugh and cry amid the rush towards the cliff.

why did i bother to watch the first 2 episodes? regret it.. as .. well not anywhere near as good as the first 2 seasons... it has descended into some dysfunctional dystopia... i was hoping it would get better... but .. i was wrong.

I always love everything coming from The Boys!: Reality spoken so raw and straight to the Point. Hilarious Gross jokes and Gore that totally makes me laugh. Homelander face memes. Fucking Incredible Job from Kripke and the Cast

Perfect representation of what’s going on today in Trump’s America. Homelander and his incompetent government (Trump and his admin) are heading towards getting what they deserve! Cant wait!

One of the best series to grace TV returns. Braindead Trump cultists who wouldn't know a logical thought from a punch in the face will downvote the show, along with numerous bots. No attempt will be made to watch it with an open mind. They are a brainwashed cult that does not deserve to be treated as sentient beings. May they find God's mercy, although even he has his limits.

This is what most heroes in our world would be like, if they actually existed. A wonderful satire, despite the excessive gore.
