SEASON PREMIERE: The first three episodes of this new Season 2 were sneaked onto Amazon as a surprise to fans yesterday – but its official relaunch is today, when one new Season 2 episode will be added every Friday. As with last season, The Boys does something other than the usual costumed heroes vs. costumed villains approach to comic-book series. It has heroes who secretly (and sometimes not so secretly) act as villains, opposed only by renegade paranormals who are branded as bad guys – but who actually are the real heroes of the piece. The Boys ask what can superpowered mutants do not only with their individual gifts, but with the lack of ethics required to bend the media, and the country, to support their squad of costumed “protectors” no matter what?
