    PLOT Anti-superhero vigilantes The Boys are wanted and in hiding, while their leader Billy Butcher (Urban) has gone off the grid. However, new recruit Hughie (Quaid) and sympathetic ‘Supe’ Starlight (Moriarty) have a plan to bring down bad guys The Seven — and their parent company Vought — from the inside.

    “FUCKIN’ DIABOLICAL.” ASfirst season went by without at least one totally outrageous, potentially triggering, “what the actual?” moment. An invisible man being exploded by a grenade up his jacksie, for example. Or a sex-crazed dolphin getting jettisoned through a car’s windscreen, then run over by a lorry. Or the moment Superman/Captain America hybrid Homelander (Antony Starr) revealed his true nature by destroying a plane containing a political foe… and that foe’s young, Homelander-fan son.
