Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capon, Karen Fukuhara, Nathan Mitchell, Elisabeth Shue, Jennifer Esposito, Colby Minifie Synopsis: The Boys is set in a universe where superpowered people are recognized as heroes by the general public and owned by powerful corporation Vought International, which ensures that they are aggressively marketed and monetized. Outside of their heroic personas, most are arrogant and corrupt. The series primarily focuses on two groups: the titular Boys, vigilantes looking to keep the corrupted heroes under control, and the Seven, Vought International's premier superhero team. The Boys are led by Billy Butcher, who despises all superpowered people, and the Seven are led by the egotistical and unstable Homelander. As a conflict ensues between the two groups, the series also follows the new members of each team: Hugh "Hughie" Campbell of the Boys, who joins the vigilantes after his girlfriend is killed in a high speed collision by the Seven's A-Train, and Annie January / Starlight of the Seven, a young and hopeful heroine forced to face the truth about the heroes she admires.

I can't believe I didn't have a thread for this yet!
Had to put two pics in the first post. First one is of all the superheroes (some of which are totally villainous, if the public only knew the truth about them) and the second of the regular, non-powered people who are trying to take them down and expose them for what they really are.
I LOVED season 1 and am so glad that they're getting a season 2! I heard that this is Amazon's biggest original show to date. A little gory at times but really good and also really funny. I like the unique twist of superheroes who show the side we usually see to the public but are actually completely horrible people (at least some are) who abuse their abilities. Also loved the twist on origins and the fact that they're all headed by a corporation who sponsors their image, movies, covers up the bad shit some of them do, etc. I don't want to say any more than that so that I don't spoil anyone planning to check it out.
