Amazon’s The Boys was adapted from the Garth Ennis comic book series, which is all a comic book fan needed to assume the TV show would be violent mayhem.
The Boys enjoyed a stellar word-of-mouth build on Amazon, with more and more people hitting up the Internet to sing its praises.
Supernatural creator Eric Kripke, along with EPs Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, delivered just such a chaotic bloodbath, eschewing traditional cape-and-cowl storytelling to unveil the seedy and illicit corruption behind corporate-funded superheroes.
And also to look up the talented cast, the too-naughty-for-Amazon scenes, and to see when Season 2 will arrive.
