The Boys remains incredibly true to itself, while also not being afraid to take some big new swings and push the boundaries of the cast, the writers, and the audience itself.
A sharp, entertaining, eviscerating satire of superhero franchises and the culture that aggrandizes them. ... If Season 1 was great, Season 2 is even better, thanks to the expansion of the main characters’ back stories — which in turn throws the good-versus-evil, perfect folks-versus-regular slobs plot into even sharper relief. New twists and members of the ensemble are added judiciously, which is probably a strange word for a show that’s so wonderfully reckless.

Amazon series “The Boys,” which manages in its second season to be even more boisterously bleak than the first time around. ... But don’t worry, action fans, there are also plenty of exploding heads, super-battles and mountains of mayhem. This show rarely rests.
As a whole, the second season of The Boys is a solid improvement on the first: Smarter, sharper, and more engaged with its stories and characters.
The Boys isn’t nearly as subversive at it fancies itself. The idea that superheroes have a dark side has been part of the conversation about the medium for decades. Indeed it is the basis for many of Marvel and DC Comics’s most compelling storylines (Captain America: Civil War, for starters). But The Boys takes a cleaver to the cult of the caped crusader with genuine glee. If the gore feels non-stop – watch out for an exploding whale early on – so, too, does the show’s wicked sense of fun.
Amazing that “The Boys” juggles each of its storylines without fumbling most of them. Conceptually, the season’s a jumble. Practically, it works remarkably well, juvenile in the way everything producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg touch should be but smart enough to know when not to be dumb as rocks (or, at least, to know when to take itself seriously and when to burst heads like grapes).
This is the season that helped me “get” the appeal of "The Boys," especially as it’s more fun to spend time with these characters well-past their try-hard introductions. ... But season two also proves that if the series is going to be so bloated and only sporadically punchy, it’s never going to be as powerful as it thinks it is.
Easily the best written show in the last several years. It's very refreshing when groups of unemployed basement dwelling neckbeards, band together to review bomb such an awesome show.

SEASON 2
A real shame. Season 1 was awesome, new fresh. Season 2 was, well, it had pretty good moments, very gory and impacting moments, but it also went to the leftists political views like the rest of Hollywood crap, and that has hurt the show, like a lot. It's not as bad as GoT ending, but it's just another show, nothing special anymore.

SEASON 2
Actors are still great and the concept is cool. But holy christ, they have become so PREACHY. With the world as horrible as it is right now, its so disgusting that they think its okay to continuously rub everyones noses in such garbage. Hollywood - we get it. Your extremist progressives. Cool. We get it. Can you please stop viciously attacking everyone who disagrees with you and just make entertaining televisin?

SEASON 2
Would have had a higher rateing had it not been for the HUGE drop is quality from the first season. The epic scenes that were artistry gone the fast pased and always exciting twists that caught you by suprise every episode gone. It was dry and boring always was seeming like it was building to a crazy finally but never launched. Not even comparable with the first season. This has been telivisions biggest let down since the prequel star wars sieries.
