The Boys est une variation irrévérencieuse sur des super-héros, aussi connus que des vedettes, aussi influents que des politiciens et aussi révérés que des dieux, qui abusent de leurs super-pouvoirs au lieu de faire le bien. Les sans pouvoir affrontent les surpuissants dans The Boys, qui nous entraîne dans une quête héroïque pour dévoiler la vérité sur les Sept et le redoutable soutien de Vought. (Prime Video)

The Boys (2019)
The Boys banks on the current audience's taste for R-rated superheroes, and I have to admit that the show's creators managed to keep me glued to the screen for eight hours to watch this rather unprecedented spectacle almost in one sitting. The issue of the negative impact of superhero actions on civilians was already bitten on in the MCU's Captain America: Civil War and forms one of the plot pillars here. Its world, in which superheroes are seen as celebrities and at the same time put on the level of gods, while not everything is as it seems to be, definitely had its charm, and I liked that practically until the very end of the first season, you didn't know who was actually the biggest asshole among all. The series features a whole plethora of more or less well-known actors, of which I was most impressed by Elisabeth Shue as the uncompromising Madelyn Stillwell and Antony Starr as the sanctimoniously demonic Homelander. But The Boys didn't disappoint and provided many memorable scenes – you won't see an infant used as a laser weapon anywhere else, which is also true of other scenes. I'm quite curious about the second season, as several story lines ended up unfinished and it would be a shame if they stayed that way
