Plot: Unseen stories from “The Boys” universe.
The Boys presents diabolical, was insane and crazy.
Pros: I enjoyed seeing the many different animated styles for each episode. I like the cast they have assembled for this series. I must give credi t to this series for getting away with a lot of things on here that they would never get away with on the TV Show, You can watch each episode in any order you want to.
Cons: I found some of the imagery unsettling & the content definitely proves it is Not a child’s cartoon show.
