Villainous Supes? Call The Boys| Amazon Prime Original

Published August 27, 2019 | By Covan Magee

If you know me, you know how fond I am of super hero content. My latest dish for you comes out of Amazon Prime’s Original show catalog. The recipe used for this latest production is simply delightful. I am talking about their new show created by Erik Kripke, Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen, “The Boys”.

Starring Jack Quaid (Huey) and Karl Urban (Billy Butcher) who form a team of vigilantes who share a common experience of being survivors of collateral damage. Take on Vought, an evil corporation who produces Super Heroes like a talent agency. The show is brilliant with grade A visual effects with a well rounded cast including but not limited to Erin Moriarty (Starlight), Chace Crawford (The Deep), Antony Starr (Home-lander). It appears that the inspiration for the super heroes created in the show are a reflection of the DC Universe. However, the spin off is, what if your favorite super hero abused their powers in the name of fame and fortune? Do you offend or out of fear attend support meetings? Drama, Dead Pool action comedy and a sprinkle of relative social issues completes this plate. The Boys got it all, go feast on Season 1! Can’t wait for season 2!
