How Are the Reviews for The Boys?

“The Boys” is a huge hit among critics and audiences for its unorthodox take on the superhero genre, its satirical commentaries on greed, well-written characters, high-quality production, and for perfectly balancing the darkness and comic relief of the story. The series received an approval rating of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes, 77/100 on Metacritic, and 8.7/10 on IMDb. Here’s what critics love about “The Boys”:

• “It’s heady, heavy stuff. And yet The Boys never stops being fun. It’s Marvel with a script by Noam Chomsky. Batman v Superman where the real villain is unchecked capitalism. And – provided you can stomach the gore and the orgies – it’s the smartest, bravest show on television right now.” – The Telegraph

• “The Boys quickly became Amazon’s signature series, and the second season of this beyond-dark show outdoes the first — offering a searing take on modern-day America that might be TV’s most subversive program, camouflaged in superhero garb.” – CNN
