    'The Boys' Return For A 2nd Season, Even More Twisted Than The 1st

    The Amazon Prime series returns Friday full of satire, superheroes and subversion. It's a funhouse mirror reflection of the racism, xenophobia, criminality and political posturing of our real world.

    The second season of Amazon Prime's <em>The Boys</em> comes out on Friday. Karl Urban plays Butcher (from left), and his "boys" Hughie Campbell (Jack Quaid), The Female (Karen Fukuhara), Frenchie (Tomer Capon) and Mother's Milk (Laz Alonso).

    Thanks to the ubiquity of super powered metahumans flying through the air to smash box office records and scoop up Emmy nominations, it is easy for non-geeks to roll their eyes when a new comic book hero-centered project emerges. Not again, you think. We've seen this all before.

    But in the case of Amazon Prime Video's The Boys, you really haven't. At least, not how things evolve in the show's more expansive second season premiering Friday, Sept. 4.
