The Boys season 4 almost put me off watching Gen V season 2 entirely. Everyone's aware that The Boys toes the line with dark humour. There's something incredibly watchable about the weird, kinky superhero shags that are sprayed across the series. The fantastical gore meets this strange eroticism at its (low? high?) level. But although this drew audiences into the series, the witty cultural commentary embedded into the explosive storylines was what kept people coming back for more.
