Rick Kogan Chicago Tribune 02/08/2022
[Ned Beatty's] work, his surprising comedic timing, is at first a joy to watch. But he is unable to overcome the lack of wit in this story Go to Full Review Tony Scott Variety 03/21/2018
Meloni offers a pleasantly understated presence, and Beatty, Venture and Harkins establish distinct personalities under Terry Hughes' sharp direction. Go to Full Review Alan Pergament Buffalo News 02/10/2022
1.5/5

There isn’t anyone to like in The Boys because there’s no reason to like them. There’s no reason to dislike them, either. In fact, there’s no reason at all to watch them. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

01/04/2020 Loved the comics. Loved the series. Can't wait for season 2! See more 10/12/2019 I didn't see this show, and there's no way to delete the review. See more 08/18/2019 I really started out liking this series, but then it went anti-Christian and they did the SJW me too stuff. It was a huge turnoff. Sad really, because I would have continued watching, but I am getting tired of it. I think a lot of people are getting tired of it.
