The Boys

Yesterday I finished the Amazon Original Series “The Boys”. As far as I know, it is based on a comic series.

Basically, it is a superhero series, but a completely other kind of superhero series.

I’d like to not go into much detail, as I don’t want to spoiler anyone.

So let’s get into some detail. The series is based in a world where superheroes exist. But, with great superpowers comes great responsability. And that is the point.

The superheroes are not only here to help, but they also have a bad side, just like every other human being.

It is definitely not a series for people who don’t like violence and gore. And by gore, I mean gore. Brutal, violent gore. The eighteen plus warning in Austria isn’ t there for fun. :)

I like the new view on superheroes you get through this series. Superheroes with a bad and dark side, really something new.

Interestingly Amazon ordered the second season before the first one even aired. If I remember correctly, the first series is the most watched one on Amazon this year. I think that has something to tell about the quality.

So, if you’re interested in superheroes and the bad things they can do, be sure to check it out!
