Superheroes are often as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and sometimes even as revered as gods. But that's when they're using their powers for good. What happens when the heroes go rogue and start abusing their powers? When it's the powerless against the super powerful, the Boys head out on a heroic quest to expose the truth about the Seven and Vought, the multibillion-dollar conglomerate that manages the superheroes and covers up their dirty secrets. Based on the comic book series of the same name.

Critics Consensus

The Boys comes out swinging in a superb second season that digs deeper into its complicated characters and ups the action ante without pulling any punches.

While a little scary to see our current state of affairs so perfectly paralleled in such a gratuitously violent show, it did do exactly that.

Guided by the astute hand of showrunner Eric Kripke, The Boys is a whip-smart takedown of the superhero genre it so lovingly replicates.

The narrative seemed, to me, a necessary aberration, an admission of artistic limitations. The kind of satire that in the past could make us feel morally superior may no longer be possible.

This season seems like a response to or mirror of our increasingly fraught society.

The Boys Season 2 hits the runway at high speed, but with one of the surprising elements that the creative writing team adds into the tv adaptation versus the original source material is a colossal amount of emotion and heart.

The show goes to some incredibly dark places - that is, it probes the modern American psyche. If you can handle reading the news right now, you can handle The Boys.

Woke garbage. Nice idea, executed by leftwing lunatics.

This second season maintains the irreverence and graphic violence that define the work, but suffers from some unevenness in structure and pacing. The script gains strength by introducing a new and menacing rival who shakes things up behind the scenes of the corporation, as well as excellently delving into the past and traumas of several characters. However, the narrative gets lost in some drawn-out and redundant subplots that hinder the frenetic pace of the premiere, resulting in a year that is very focused on development, but with less immediate impact.

The satire that plays out might be too hard to handle for some, but it's a true story, told in the most gruesome, ridiculous, and oh yes spectacular ways.

Almost as good as Season 1. It expanded the world nicely, introduced Stormfront effectively, and kept the same vicious energy. Some episodes dragged a little compared to Season 1, but overall it was still excellent and very entertaining.

A Nazi called Storm Front joins the Seven, Homelander trains his son, the Boys are wanted, and people’s heads are popping off. This is just as crazy as season one.

Es un show original, diferente y muy explícito. Tiene una mezcla de acción, humor negro y crítica social casi perfecta, además de personajes memorables y momentos impactantes.
