The Boys (2019– )
A shining beacon in today's day and age..

Man this is such a step up compared to the comics as of right now after the end of season 3. Probably one of the few shows that does a better job than its original counterpart.

Plot/Story: 8.9

The concept, the idea of "bad" heroes has been done multiple times but for a whole universe that is quite deep and expansive compared to most others have never been done before. Each season was bigger, better, more explosive, but it always stuck to its recipe. The intro, the buildup which was the longest and most important, the climax, and then the conclusions. The pacing was well done for the most part with resting periods after each grotesque, adrenaline pumping scenes. The consistency was there with a few minor hiccups and flaws but overall amazing writing and character development. Its bitter, sweet, funny, and VERY violent. No deep philosophical thinking or any deep themes, just a very good series that I enjoyed very easily from the gecko

Characters: 8.2

The heroes, the villains, I mean they were all well done for the most part. Each one of them were unique with their own stories and defining personalities. They felt human, they felt real..

Overall well done for the most part just had a hard time connecting with most of them other than 1 or 2 characters.

Visuals/Sound: 9.8

The directing, the sounds, it was really ridiculously well done. Watching the series I could see that they put a lot of effort into it. The directing, the cartoon animation which was so wonderful and unique, the use of IG, the news, etc. Also the set designs and costume designs were well done also.

Overall quite an enjoyable series.

Memorable: Sort of Rewatchable: Quite likely...
