For those tired of the onslaught of good (and oft-formulaic) superhero tales courtesy of Marvel and DC, Prime Video’s “The Boys” is a much-needed antidote of mayhem, chaos and the understanding that, if superpowered people existed, they would probably, well, suck.
Created by Eric Kripke and executive produced by longtime collaborators Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen, the Emmy-nominated series is back and badder than ever in its third season.
