Get Some

Stunning. Wonderful. Vile. Cynical. Deep. Funny. Political. Gross. Amazing. You know how some superhero shows are too kiddie like CW, or too self-satisfied like Kiss-Ass, or too good but inert and trippy like Legion or too popcorn like mainstream superhero stuff? This show somehow finds a balance and while it's nearest cousin might be Titans, The Boys has a deeper real world ugliness that is horrifying. Well done.

The Boys has been popping up for me from the beginning in the form of various memes, or in discussions generally about movies and series, with responses usually being positive. So I gave it a chance yesterday and now I am writing my opinions under episode 3, because I watched 3 episodes in one breath. Yes, the series is quite captivating and good. The action, brutality, humor but mainly the satire so far is excellent and I am curious where it will develop further. I must say, the storyline from the point of view of Starlight is very well processed. I enjoy hating the corporate fools she has to face.

Gross funny dramatic corny. Deadpool meets Star-Girl

We get more insight into the corporation and into the superheroes. Some truths about them are surfacing. Has one really gruesome scene. Yup that was shocking. I still feel like the dialogue isn't i guess the smoothest. I found the funny scenes not that funny.

3 out of 5 stars.

The episode continues with the boys trying to surveillance A-Train. But they find a new drug which may enhance their powers.

The story continues. It tries to have that fun direction seeing the boys trying to work together and surveillance A-Train's girlfriend. While Homelander is wanting to find out who was responsible for the disappearance of one of their own.
