About

The Boys is a satirical superhero drama series that explores a world where superpowered individuals, known as "Supes," are celebrated as heroes but often abuse their powers. The story centers around two main groups: The Boys, a vigilante team seeking to expose the truth behind these corrupt superheroes, and The Seven, the premier superhero team managed by the powerful corporation Vought International. The series delves into themes of power, corruption, and the exploitation of heroes for corporate gain. The show critiques societal issues like capitalism and the ethics of power through its depiction of a world where superheroes are both revered and feared.
