Cross-media recommendations across film, TV, games, books & music — picked by taste.

The Boys follows a group of vigilantes — ordinary people armed with blue-collar stubbornness and a willingness to fight dirty — taking on corrupt superheroes who abuse their abilities for personal gain while a powerful company, Vought International, keeps the public believing they're protectors. The show is about accountability against systems designed to resist it, and what it costs to keep fighting when the enemy is nearly invincible. If that pulls at you, so will stories about outlaw solidarity, moral compromise, and power without conscience.

About The Boys

The Boys is an American satirical superhero streaming television series developed by Eric Kripke for Amazon Prime Video. Based on the comic book series of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, it follows the eponymous team of vigilantes as they combat superpowered individuals, referred to as "Supes", who often abuse their powers for personal gain and work for a powerful company, Vought International, that ensures the general public views them as heroes. The story focuses on Hughie Campbell, a young electronics clerk, and Billy Butcher, a former SAS and CIA operative, who work together with the rest of the Boys against "The Seven", Vought's premier superhero team, led by the power-hungry Homelander.
