Where to watch The Boys: Stream every episode online

If you're looking for a different take on the superhero genre, you may well have come across The Boys. Based on the comic book by Garth Ennis and Danick Robertson, it’s a subversive and satirical take on the superhero genre. 

The Boys is set in a world where superheroes have become a corporate product, marketed and monetized by the powerful Vought International. Vought’s main superhero team is the Seven. 

Though they put on heroic public personas, they are arrogant and nasty people, especially their leader, the narcissistic Homelander, played by Antony Starr. A rival group, The Boys, challenges Vought’s corruption and is led by Karl Urban’s character, Billy Butcher.

The Boys has been praised for its cynical and edgy take on the genre - it’s less family-friendly than your typical superhero movie and has fun with that. 

It also has an impressive mix of socially relevant themes and superpowered action. There are currently two seasons of The Boys available, with a third on the way. In this article, we’ll explain where you can watch The Boys.
