The world is a wild place. Over the last few years, it’s been kind of hard to find heroes. But The Boys on Prime Video has no shortage of heroes. And the moral of their story? They’re not that great either. Over the last three seasons, The Boys has been a blistering satire of American politics and imperialism as seen through the eyes of superheroes and the people who have decided they should be culpable for their actions.
The show is run by Eric Kripke, who told Vulture, “This show is a lot of things, but subtle is not one of them.”
Kripke recently sat down with Vulture to talk about the show, the United States, and how he’s seeing television change right before our very eyes.
