Season 1 (2019)

Episode 1 The Name of the Game

非常特别的世界观，还蛮有意思的。超级英雄得到了产业化培养，有经济人，可以跟城市管理者谈判去控制犯罪率，还有代言和授权产品。在这样的背景下，如果超级英雄被豁免了在执行任务时造成的伤害，普通人要怎么做呢？主角团就是受到伤害之后反击的，突然有了一种反讽的感觉。普通超级英雄剧的视角都是超级英雄是好人是被边缘化的，一旦又有超能力又被认可了，可能就有另一番故事了。不过第一集就非常重口，如同18X的同人……

CAST有惊喜，Simon Pegg和Karl Urban如同在看ST平行宇宙……

在电器店打工的Hughie Campbell没什么人生亮点，唯一就是女友Robin非常有爱。但两人在马路上商量着同居的未来时，超级英雄A-Train高速跑过，Robin成了一滩血浆……Hughie不能接受这样的现实，超级英雄说在执行任务抓抢劫银行的，就能无意撞死离马路牙子一步之遥的无害普通人，而且连个道歉也没有。Hughie没签补偿款保密协议，但也不知道应该怎么做，Billy Butcher就找上门了，自称是FBI，带着Hughie去了一家俱乐部，据说是超级英雄们才会来的，展示了A-Train嘲笑他女友之死的监控录像。Butcher还提供了资料说明Robin出事那天，警方并没有因为银行抢劫而出警，所以A-Train那样跑在马路上是因为别的他不想说的秘密。

Annie January从小就被母亲带去参加各类超级英雄选秀，这次Lamplighter要退休，她参加了Vought公司选新的Seven成员的活动，最终中选，成了新英雄Starlight。经历了如同选秀明星一样的粉丝夹道欢迎和热烈的介绍仪式之后，Seven成员Deep带她参观总部，并在会议室脱了裤子要求咬，不然就赶走她这个新人……Annie在厕所洗的时候，被Queen Maeve看到了，而厕所里还躲着另一名成员Translucent。她只能安慰自己，加入可以救更多人，而Seven的首领Homelander是正真的，就像她自己的信念那样。

Hughie拿不定主意，在中央公园偶遇了Annie，两人都有困惑，一番聊天，各自下定了决心。Hughie按Butcher的安排，假意去签保密协议，但是要求A-Train当面道歉，借此机会到Seven的总部安装窃听设备。Hughie顺利完成了任务，但是不知道厕所里藏了Translucent，见到了他掉出来的窃听器。一个人看店时，Hughie被Translucent拿着窃听器威胁了。Butcher赶来，与Translucent打了起来，Hughie想起来Jimmy Fallon秀里，Translucent说过他的隐形能力是因为有碳，利用电流杀了他……

Baltimore市长与Vought谈判时，想用五号化合物的事来压低价钱，最后协议达成时回去飞机却遭到了Homelander的袭击……

The Boys (2019 TV series) 英雄克星

The Boys is an American superhero web television series based on the comic book of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. Developed by Eric Kripke for Amazon, it follows the titular team of vigilantes as they fight back against superpowered people who abuse their abilities.

The series premiered on July 26, 2019. Ahead of the premiere, Amazon renewed The Boys for a second season.

Premise

The Boys is set in a universe where superpowered people are recognized as heroes by the general public and owned by powerful corporation Vought International, which markets and monetizes them. Outside of their heroic personas, most are arrogant and corrupt. The series primarily focuses on two groups: the Seven, Vought International's premier superhero team, and the titular Boys, vigilantes looking to keep the corrupted heroes under control.

The Boys are led by Billy Butcher, who despises all superpowered people, and the Seven are led by the egotistical and unstable Homelander. As a conflict ensues between the two groups, the series also follows the new members of each team: Hugh "Hughie" Campbell of the Boys, who joins the vigilantes after his girlfriend is killed by one of the Seven; and Annie January / Starlight of the Seven, a young and hopeful heroine forced to face the truth about the heroes she admires.
