A group of vigilantes sets out to take down corrupt superheroes who abuse their superpowers.
 
I love this show.  It has everything you want and everything you wouldn't expect from a superhero series.  There's loads of sex, drugs, violence, gore and inappropriate comedy all wrapped up in a great story with terrific performances from all of its actors.
 
FUN FACT:  American actor Jack Quaid plays the part of Hughie in the series. In the comic book, Hughie is from Scotland and he resembles English actor and writer Simon Pegg. Pegg was "super chuffed" to be "immortalized as a comic book character" and also wrote the introduction for The Boys Vol.1 collection, "The Name of the Game." Pegg is also known for his role as Montgomery "Scotty" Scott in the rebooted Star Trek (2009) film trilogy, alongside Karl Urban who plays Doctor "Bones" McCoy. Karl Urban stars as Billy Butcher in The Boys. Pegg was originally supposed to play Little Hughie when the comic was made into a movie or series, but because it took so long to make the jump, he plays Hughie's father instead.
