      A. K Intense character exploration of many characters (although some of them have quite little screen time), great dialogue, insane acting and a refreshing storyline. Season one ends with one of the coolest plot developments i’ve seen so far. Extremely excited for more. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/29/24 Full Review Shorty R Brilliant, funny and full of gore Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review Aiden G Love the show. Billy Butcher is so awesome. The storyline's that they have, from bring Supe's into the military, Homelander letting the plane crash and Queen Maeve's sympathy, Starlight and Hughie's story, everything they did with Hughie, and Mother's Milk's whole deal with his daughter was sad. Overall, very entertaining realistic spoof on the superhero genera. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/12/24 Full Review Kevin K Slow start to a good series but if you like this then you'll like the rest Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/07/24 Full Review Tijs v It has some very weird moments and some very brutal ones which is pretty funny. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/24 Full Review Gabriel F Awesome show! Something different and refreshing Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Kelly Lawler USA Today A superhero series that asks what would happen if the people endowed with terrific powers were also terrific jerks. Full of graphic (but not gratuitous) violence, the series puts a dark spin on the comic book story. Nov 10, 2021 Full Review Valerie Anne Autostraddle I really enjoyed this show overall, for all its grit and gore, but also the very human themes throughout. Oct 29, 2021 Full Review Alison Herman The Ringer The Boys is a story about superheroes fantastically well suited to skepticism, fatigue, and general wariness toward stories about superheroes. Sep 6, 2019 Full Review Aaron Phillips But Why Tho? A Geek Community The Boys Season 1 as an adaptation, it’s a truly honest representation of what Ennis and Robertson originally created all those years ago. Rated: 9/10 Jan 22, 2023 Full Review Jonny Mahon-Heap Stuff.co.nz A razor-sharp, ultra-gory and abominably-black comedy. Oct 7, 2022 Full Review James McMahon NME (New Musical Express) The Boys is a damming indictment on how power corrupts. Jul 14, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
