“Dark superhero satire that flips the genre by showing what happens when powerful heroes are actually corrupt and self-serving.”

“At least it has Simon Pegg in it, who Hugh was based on. And I kind of can't picture the show without his involvement. It's not as Garth Ennis as I think it should be, it's not as vulgar and offensive and fun as he usually is, and certainly as The Boys was in print...”

“The series had the potential to follow in the footsteps of Watchmen, but woke took over and squelched any objective socio-political commentary that the original comic may have had. Any and all characters in any sort of power position - unless it's the bad guy - is female.”
