The Boys (2019)


An 8 episode series on Amazon Prime -- binge watched 06/29-6/30/2019


I binged this series (8 episodes). The series was riveting and more fearless than any superhero. Before I began watching I had not realized that this was based on a comic series. Amazon Prime has a feature which provides written commentary on each episode.The episodes have more warning labels regarding adult themes, violence and sex than I have seen on some R-rated movies. There are many scenes, where you do not think that they will go there...and they do. A superhero ("Homelander") gives a speech to a very responsive audience, that was almost uncannily, reminiscent of a certain political figure.




I binged this series, maybe a mistake as it was a major adrenaline rush with a cliffhanger ending. Just about every time that I thought, no they won't go there, they did. Loved this show, but take the insanely amount of warnings before each episode as truth, not hyperbole.
