The Boys is a popular series on Prime Video that deconstructs the superhero genre by introducing a world where superheroes, backed by a powerful corporation called Vought, exhibit morally ambiguous and often dangerous behavior. The show has been praised for its dark humor, complex characters, and critique of modern celebrity culture and corporate ethics. The series has spawned several spin-offs, including the animated series The Boys Presents: Diabolical and the upcoming The Boys: Mexico.
