What to Know

Critics Consensus

Diabolical's animated shorts pack the same supersized punch as The Boys, transposing the original series' scabrous social commentary into a cartoonish medium that's just as much devilish fun -- and definitely not for kids.

As with most ventures like this, the total assembly is a very mixed bag of quality, dipping on the negative side of the ledger here overall. Go to Full Review

With run times less than a quarter of an hour each, it’s perfect for an entertaining evening binge. (Just put the kids to bed first — and don’t eat while watching.) Go to Full Review

The Boys Presents: Diabolical is a reminder of just how gross and fun a world of superpowered sociopaths can be. Go to Full Review

The Boys Presents: Diabolical is a gross reminder of how corrupted and messed up supes are. Where there is an animation medium, there is always room for creativity. Go to Full Review

The animated anthology series The Boys Presents: Diabolical stays true to its brand. It is a darkly comic, lighting fast, and bloodstained ride. Go to Full Review

Ed R @JustcallmeER Oct 25 A completely unnecessary spin-off of a great show. See more matthias s @Thescreenasvor 09/14/2024 *The Boys Presents: Diabolical* is a hit-and-miss anthology that captures the chaotic and gory essence of *The Boys* universe. Some stories shine with dark humor and inventive animation, while others fall flat. The variety of animation styles keeps it visually interesting, but the uneven storytelling can be a bit jarring. Still, if you're a fan of *The Boys*, this show offers an entertaining, if not always consistent, dive into that wild world. Decent overall, but it doesn't hit every mark. See more Laze T @Christian173 08/10/2024 I liked the different art styles used throughout the series, couple hit or miss episodes but the final was Defiantly the best by far... See more J B 06/23/2024 Ep 8. That's it. That's all. Started watching at Ep 1 which was honestly just kind of dumb. Ep 2 was better but still nothing out of this world. Ep 3 was a total throwaway & EP 4 was so f'n dumb I stopped watching it w/in 4 minutes. Luckily I came in here and someone mentioned Ep 8... NOT SURE why the entire series wasn't actually, you know, about The Boys like Ep 8 is and, instead, the EPs are some cheesy side product which could best be describe as 15 minutes of mindless torture. This series could have been so much more if it had fixated on the main characters. See more Istiak M @Istiakmobin 06/19/2024 man it's so damnnn good See more Przemek E 06/11/2024 A few interesting episodes, but overall it kind of ran out of interesting ideas. I don't know, it just didn't knock me out. You can watch out of boredom. See more Read all reviews
