If you’re a superhero action adventure fan and are a subscriber to the Amazon Prime service then you most likely have come across the series called “The Boys”. It’s a violent as all heck series and the first go round was an out of the park hit. As I only subscribe to Netflix and Hulu at the moment, I don’t know much more than what we see in the first trailer presented down below. Take a look.

The Premise:
The Boys is set in a universe where superpowered individuals are recognized as heroes by the general public and owned by powerful corporation Vought International, which markets and monetizes them. Outside of their heroic personas, most are arrogant and corrupt. The series primarily focuses on two groups: the Seven, Vought International’s premier superhero team, and the titular Boys, vigilantes looking to keep the corrupted heroes under control. The Boys are led by Billy Butcher, who despises all superpowered people, and the Seven are led by the egotistical and unstable Homelander. As a conflict ensues between the two groups, the series also follows the new members of each team: Hughie Campbell of the Boys, who joins the vigilantes after his girlfriend is killed by one of the Seven; and Annie January / Starlight of the Seven, a young and hopeful heroine forced to face the truth about the heroes she admires.

Though I’m not an Amazon Prime member, they do have a number of shows that speak to our direct Pop Culture audience like “The Boys” series which is based on the popular Garth Ennis comic book. In this story, not ALL of the superheroes in the world of make believe are out for our best interests and instead are 100% focused on their own. The shows Final Trailer was recently released and is being presented for you down below. I’ll be back at the close with some additional editorial on the matter. Enjoy.

Premise: The Boys takes place in “a world where superheroes embrace the darker side of their massive celebrity and fame” and “revolves around a group of vigilantes known informally as ‘The Boys,’ who set out to take down corrupt superheroes with no more than blue-collar grit and a willingness to fight dirty.”
