The Boys

So yeah, The Boys has become one of those shows that really overstayed its welcome. I'll admit, I was a big fan and enjoyed most of its run (with Season 2 being my favorite), but after the disappointing first episodes of Season 5, I can't wait for it to be over. Season 5 brings absolutely nothing new to the table and even manages to make me dislike characters I used to love. Kimiko finally speaks, but what she says is cringe beyond words. Butcher has become even more of an *you know what*. Starlight is just... there (and annoying). Mother's Milk is trying way too hard to be a badass, which he isn't. And Homelander? I just don't care anymore. Oh, and Sage ... why is she even there? She's so bland. I just hope it ends soon, and honestly, I don't even care how anymore. This used to be a fun show, but now it isn't.

I've had big expectations about this show, because I thought that is going to be exactly that kind of show, in which the good guys (the superheroes) fight the bad guys (the villains) and of course, they win. I couldn't have been more wrong, especially because "The Boys" it's not about a desperate attempt of superheroes to save the world from evil, instead this show takes a much more realistic approach, about what is going to happen if superheroes had really existed. I'm saying that I had big expectations in the beginning, because I thought that it would be the same usual show with superheroes and villain, that is most likely to find everywhere. In the first couple of episodes I've been a little bit disappointed, or rather shocked, because like I've already said, "The Boys" describes what the MCU never did. Of course, the movies and shows from Marvel are destined to other public's category, but this show is tough. It has all you could not expect from a TV series with superheroes. It has violence, gore, nudity, astonishing CGI effects and a very unpredictable and solid storyline. In the end it seems that this one delivered what I didn't expect it to and I am pleased with that. The show is definitely worth watching.

I'm a huge Legion fan because of the way they did things - The Boys landed like a punch to the face, its dark, its funny (that dolphin scene!) and most of all its one of the most entertaining shows I've seen lately... every character is developed to perfection and if you don't end up hating/loving Antony Starr for his superb interpretation of Homelander then you missed the whole point! A definite must watch - that would definitely be our world with supes!! They dwell on topics such as sexual harrasment, drug abuse, collateral damage and co-dependence like no one else is doing on TV - congrats Amazon and cast!

When I first heard of 'The Boys', I thought it would be your standard superhero series, but when I actually watched it, I discovered I was dead wrong. After 15 minutes of the first episode, it was impossible to stop watching. It was a more believable take on what the world would look like if superheroes were flying around today, with characters that were unforgettably unique. There were times when I thought that the 'good guys' were the 'bad guys', and times when I thought the 'bad guys' were the 'good guys'. But in the end, I found that there weren't any 'all-good' or 'all-bad' characters, but 'all-human' characters, sometimes with more-than-human abilities. It's a super series, definitely worth your time.

Around the world we have a global obsession of superhero comic characters even though they are not real, the billion dollar industry about them. Would you even imagine the franchise we would have to endure if they came into real life! This franchise would become The One quite easily. Here comes this The Boys ! Easily might become the greatest first season of A Superhero TV show ever, competing with Marvels Daredevil ofcourse. But this scrip is so freaking impressive, the over the top violence and gore along with great dialogues and brilliant acting easily brings it to the top. i would be really surprised if the two KIWI lead protagonists, Kurl Urban and Anthony Starr wouldn't get nominated for best actors in a leading role, specially Starr. He was absolutely brilliant as the lead antagonist Homelander. That says something for a superhero movie, wouldn't you say ! Was waiting patiently for this show, and living up to that hype was not easy. Had to binge it at once, it's that addictive. Wow! Before even release, Amazon Prime ordered a second season even though the production cost might have been astronomical I would imagine. They were that confident, this was that good. Watch it, you'll enjoy !!

If you know one, you know them all! That goes for superhero movies and shows from the past decade. The screen adaption of The Boys comics finally brings a complete different viewing angle to the superhero genre to TV. I recommend this to everyone who is tired of Disney's family friendly Marvel and post-Nolan DC films. The Boys, Joker and Watchmen - this year seems to bring the long required change.
