The boys
The craze of the web series among Indian audience has increased rapidly over the years. Hit series like ‘Mirzapur’, ‘Sacred Games’ and ‘Undeshi’ gave the audience a chance to peek into the interesting world of crime, thrill and drama. But recently another show remains a topic of discussion and this show is being known not only with its brilliant content, but also to present the superhero style in a completely different style. We are talking about ‘The Boys’, which is an American web series. Even though it does not have production in the weight, but the number of audiences in India is increasing day by day. The content of the show is so strong that it has also left many Indian hit series behind in terms of popularity.
How is the story of ‘The Boys’
‘The Boys’ is completely different from the superhero series we usually see in Marvel or DC Universe. Here superheroes are not idealistic saving world, but they are powerful people who use their strength for personal benefits, fame and greed. The story of this series focuses on a group that is determined to expose these ‘corrupt’ superheroes. The group leads the group Billy Bachar, a tough, fearless and personal revenge character, whose life has been ruined by the wrongdoing of superheroes.
Great rating on IMBB
The show has received a great rating of 8.6 on IMDB, which is a proof of its international success and popularity. Its fanbase has also increased tremendously in India, especially among the audience who want to see something different and RAW in superhero fiction. The biggest feature of this series is that the line between ‘Hero’ and ‘Villain’ is blurred. The audience themselves are unable to decide who to believe and who is wrong. The second major character of the show is Huggi Campbell. A common man who fights for morality by molding himself in this extraordinary world. On the other hand, there is a superhero group called The Seven, which works under a corporate company Wound International and his real face is slowly revealed behind the appearance.
Perfect combo of drama, satire and violence
The show has violence and a lot of satire. It also highlights the weaknesses of the society that we often ignore, such as the strength of media, corporate greed and problems like superstition. ‘The Boys’ not only entertains, but also forces to think whether every person who is powerful is also right? From its first season, ‘The Boys’ has drawn a new streak through its unique storylines, strong characters and brilliant visual presentations. Every season the story gets deeper, twists and turns keep the audience tied and the dialogues are so sharp that there is a glut of memes on social media.
