The Boys

Another season of The Boys and another mockery of conventional superhero movies. The only difference is that it's not nearly as hard-hitting, surprising and fucked-up as the previous season, unfortunately the plot is almost identical, only the action is less. Occasionally we get a dose of proper gore (which is great), but unfortunately there is so little action that we don't get that much fighting or killing (about five minutes of action per episode on average...). The series is once again driven by the charismatic Karl Urban, who perhaps to his detriment doesn't get as much space as he once did, as well as the occasional dark humour and generally pretty bizarre scenes like superhero sex on the street, Homelander's masturbation on a skyscraper or a superhero with the ability to throw his 2m long dick like a rope and strangle people with it. The result is a kind of inoffensive average that is fun to watch and entertaining in acting and humour, but lacks a more interesting plot and more significant action, where, except for the final episode, it is too sparing with it. I'll probably still watch the third season, but it could use a bit of a revamp. (13/05/2021)

This is just total pleasure for us fans of hard-hitting superhero series who are tired of today's declining Marvel. Because The Boys is an incredibly brutal ride full of perfect characters, bad guys, action, plot and just about everything. An unbeatable 3rd season and an absolutely flawless affair that I could watch for days. (15/02/2024)

This isn't a TV show, this is a world treasure. Definitely the most engaging, funniest and best thing to come out of cinema in the 21st century, because to hold that standard for four seasons and to excel in every aspect is simply beyond anything other than The Boys. I want a fifth season right now because I really can't wait for it. (25/07/2024)
