Meanwhile, Billy Butcher (Karl Urban), who hates superheroes, leads a team of vigilantes known as 'The Boys' whose purpose is to keep the superheroes in line and exploit their powers at every level.

What a blast! I sat down to watch the first season of a series I knew nothing about, and now that it’s finished, I am extremely satisfied. I haven't gotten such a load of incorrect humor in a long time, and I enjoyed it all the more. I was reveling in the cynicism and corporate filth, even though it made me wonder if there wasn’t something very wrong with me when I was laughing even at the most brutal scenes. But then I decided I didn't care and enjoyed this frenzy until the end.

An idea-packed adaptation of Ennis’ excellent comic book where superheroes are psychopaths, perverts or idiots, but at the same time prima donas, respected by the world, who need a rap on the knuckles from time to time. The only one who has the balls to rap them like this is Billy Butcher and the Boys. Logically, this is a little less hard-boiled than the comic book, but people just wouldn’t have accepted it otherwise. And there’s time enough to catch up in further seasons. The excellently made episodes in terms of dramaturgy, with a hidden surprise for fans, tick along like clockwork. The casting is exactly right. Urban and Quaid are the powerhouses on the human side, while Starr and Moriarty do the same for the super-side. But mainly, Homelander is a nice and juicy character and the ending leaves a lot of room for fantasy. Bring on season two.
