After Hughie Campbell (Jack Quaid) experiences a tragedy at the hands of a super, he links up with Billy Butcher (Karl Urban), a vigilante who provides Hughie with a chance to get payback. Sometimes, as we see, that means committing crimes themselves.
The main group of superheroes in The Boys are known as the Seven - complete narcissists, interested only in helping people if it furthers their celebrity, influence, and pockets. Granted, in the age of Jessica Jones and Watchmen - which examine a similar question of whether superheroes can also have flaws or even go so far as to commit evil - it's hard to say if we can really call this a "subversion." Where we can say the show paves its own exciting path is in its framing of capitalism as the greatest villain of all. This Amazon Original series, based on the Garth Ennis–Darick Robertson comic books, offers a gritty subversion of black-and-white renderings of superhero morality. If you’re looking for a show that comes with a massive cult following that’ll live-tweet through each episode, this one - now on Season 10 - is it. Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson, Angela Bassett, Lady Gaga, Matt Bomer, Emma Roberts, Taissa Farmiga, Gabourey Sidibe, and so many more grace the screen throughout AHS via a solo feature or recurring appearance. Not only does each season contain reimagined stories pulled from real headlines and passed-down folklore, but they’re also stacked with all-star casts. Some seasons are noticeably better than others, but if you’re a fan of horror, you’ll find this show a treat. In essence, you can start with any season, but there are some minor connections between the seasons as you continue through the series. Murder House, Coven, Freakshow, Asylum, Hotel - each season of the FX series is self-contained with its own storyline.
Created by Ryan Murphy ( Nip/Tuck, Glee), this show does a great job showcasing some of horror's most beloved tropes. Halloween is a hop, skip, and a jump away, which makes now the perfect time to dive into this Emmy Award–winning horror anthology series.
