In today’s episode we are discussing S1 of Eric Kripke’s small screen adaptation of the violent, dark, but also humorous comic book series The Boys originally created by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. At the time of recording S2 had just started airing and we thought this would be an opportune moment to delve into the show’s satirical take on the superhero genre. We’ll be exploring the show’s parody of common genre archetypes and tropes, as well as its depiction of the interrelation between and corrupting influence of corporate capitalism, new technologies, celebrity culture, patriotism, religion and the state apparatus.
