The Boys (Prime TV Show)

[Boomer B]

Finished the first 2 seasons of The Boys. Pretty damn good show.

It’s about a shady corporation who hires out super heroes to cities. The focus of the show is on the Seven, which are their 7 most famous superhero’s who are headquartered in New York. These are not your regular heroes though, to the public they are the good guys, but when the cameras aren’t on they do a lot of disturbing things. The Boys are a vigilante group looking to take down the corporation and the super heroes.

Anyone else watched this show?

I’ve been an anticipating the show for awhile as I was aware of the comics. Show is great for people who hate and love superheroes

Not really into superheroes but I am familiar with the guy that wrote the comic. He's a damn good writer. He did Preacher (wich is the comic the AMC show is based on) an excellent comic called Hitman and he had a run on Punisher that is widely considered the definitive take on the Punisher. I haven't seen the show you are talking about but I don't doubt it's good. It will probably be cancelled far too early given that it's on amazon. That's what these streaming services do. Almost nothing lasts more than three or four seasons. I dropped Prime after they cut Sneaky Pete. I really enjoyed season one.

People I knoew that read Preacher said it was life changing for them.

As far as cancellation it depends on the show. The Boys is the hallmark show of Amazon. It's the Stranger Things of that service. I think people overestimate how popular some of the things that get cancelled were.

Haven't gotten into Queen's Gambit. You know there's a season 2 for The Boys, right?

I'm on Viking's final season, BCS, and Yellowstone. That's about it. I throw on a hunting show like MeatEater or Chasing November while I am cooking.
