The Boys does what no superhero film has managed to do — it makes you question the entire genre. The satire is sharp, the violence is genuinely shocking, and Antony Starr as Homelander is one of the great TV villains of all time. Season 2 is the best season of television I watched in 2020.

Finally a superhero property with something real to say. The Boys takes the concept of corporate-owned heroes and follows it to its logical and terrifying conclusion. It is violent and offensive but always purposefully so. Homelander alone is worth the subscription.
