WHAT IS ‘THE BOYS' ABOUT?
The Boys is about a world where superpowered individuals work for powerful corporation Vought International, which exploits and markets them. Most of the superheroes are self-centered and amoral outside of their heroics.
Didn't we already reach our superhero media saturation point a decade ago? Yes, we did. But The Boys is as far removed from your average superhero TV drama as it's possible to get.
The superheroes, instead of devoting their lives to the public good, lead secret existences of complete depravity. Murder, prejudice, hard drugs, and ethically questionable sex are all part of the act of pretending to save the world.
While they kill, hate, snort, or bone their way through life, these so-called heroes also pose a significant security risk to both national and global security.
That's where The Boys come in. They're a covert worldwide task force tasked with eliminating as many superheroes as possible – The Boys go on a dangerous mission to expose the facts about the Seven and Vought, a multibillion-dollar conglomerate that manages the superheroes and conceals their dirty little secrets.
