What a wonderfully refreshing series. With a completely different take on the superhero genre. It's rough, hard, bloody and violent.

Didn't know what to expect beforehand, but this series certainly entertained me.

Good story with a good build and great characters (especially nice to see Antony Starr again, because you don't see him that often since [url=https://www.tvmeter.nl/show/3]Banshee[/url ] has stopped).

Great mix of humor and action. A bit predictable at times, but still entertaining.

All in all, a great series that flew by.

''See, people love that cozy feeling Supes give them… but if you knew half the sh*t they get up to… F*ckin' diabolical. But then, that's where I come in. To spank the b*stards when they get out of line."

Whoopi! What a rush! I'm still shaking from this series. The eight episodes of 'The Boys' flew by like an A-Train. Another look at the whole superhero thing (a big finger to the good intentions of Superman, Aquaman, Snake Eyes, The Flash ect ect). Good cast (Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Laz Alonso, Tomer Capon ect ect), excellent script, strong acting, exciting & at the same time gory, gory and again gory. I love it so much! Not to mention the countless one-liners. Some made me roll out of my nest laughing! I will look for a nice top 5 on the web and then post it in: favorite series quotes. Too bad season 1 is over. Actually I am speechless.

Very impressed with this craziness. Season 2 2020: nice!

Watched and enjoyed the entire series in a few days. Really amazing:

- strong cast. Perhaps Elizabeth Shue made the most impression as a queen bitch, but in fact many actors are very convincing in a layered role that is never black and white good or bad. The people you find terrible in the beginning, you will find endearing in other scenes;

-great story, a cool twist on something that could have quickly become standard in other respects;

-production value is top notch, it all looks great;

-lots of humor. Good satire on the ingenuity of the PR side of commerce. Furthermore, too often below the belt and sometimes downright sick, but usually good for a big grin. Keep in mind that there is more emphasis on this than on action or tension. But it's so well written that this isn't a problem at all.

Only downside I found that Asian chick further (adds too little), otherwise I'm not a fan of Frenchie but ala.

For those who aren't sure what to expect yet, I discovered the series via

The Drinker Recommends... The Boys - YouTube

and it explains (with an even bolder accent than Butcher's) why this one is really worth it.

Bring on the 2nd season!
