What more could you ask for from a show?

Outrageously fun. Outrageously funny. Outrageously gross. Just outrageous. And the best use of the C word since Deadwood. A superb cast led by Karl Urban in a show with that Seth Rogen sensibility, The Boys turns the superhero genre on it's head. There is something here for everybody. Action. Comedy. Great special effects. Over the top violence. Even drama and a dark commentary on what society would really do if it had superheroes. And, unlike a lot of shows, The Boys doesn't lag in its following seasons. If anything it gets better. Watching this show is not an effort. It's a pleasure. It's an addiction. Yes, I'm saying it's that good. Why should you watch this show? Just start watching, and within the very first few seconds you'll want to see more. It's everything a show should be. And there's Karl Urban's use of the C word. Must be seen to be understood, but he does it as well and as often as Al in Deadwood. And that's saying a lot!
