The Boys
A far cry from noble do-gooders like Superman, Batman and Iron Man, the superheroes in this show abuse their powers on a regular basis. The over-confident, power-bloated heroes, known as “The Seven,” think that they are above the law and have little regard for the damage they cause. However, a group of humans with no superpowers is trying to fight back to expose the truth about The Seven and about Vought, the multi-million dollar conglomerate that manages them. Premieres July 26 on Amazon Prime Video. HM/JB
