The Boys (2019)
The Boys is a Amazon Prime show thats based of the graphic novel. The story is a darker depiction of a world like Marvel or DC where the superheroes are run by a huge corporation and the superheroes themselves are secretly assholes. You follow a group of guys who are going after these superheroes, but they're just normal people so its a challenge to take down the heroes. This show is very violent with the gore to go with it as well as strong sexual content and nudity. So I definitely will warn you about the disturbing content this has though I think the graphic novel may have more. If this doesn't sound like something you'd enjoy I'd stay away. This is a very interesting and nice change from the success of Marvel movies in recent years so I did enjoy this show. I do recommended it and right now season one has 8 hour long episodes, and a season two has been lit up.
Things aren't as black and white. These super heroes are all just 100% assholes as they seem to have their own reasons. And even the good guys we're following aren't free from their own issues. There is a great cast that did a wonderful job. The pacing is also pretty good as well and I ended up binging the whole season. I haven't read the graphic novel so I'm not sure what kind of differences there are. This show does make me a bit interested and I hear its on comixology.
