As for the show at issue, The Boys. I just got started this past week. About 4 eps in so far.
It's a tad cynical for me, without the cleverness or any real twists to set it apart other than with the commitment to said cynicism. It's one thing to explore 'what if superheros were less than perfect.' It's another to hammer 'these superheroes exemplify the most crass and craven impulses set to high.' We get it Garth . . . [Seth, Evan, Eric], humanity is a shitpile. Every smile masks an evil plan and every pleasantry masks a deep resentment.
