The Boys uses the superhero genre to critique corporate power, celebrity culture, and the dangers of unchecked authority. In response to contemporary developments in politics, the show’s criticism of U.S. Pres. Donald Trump and far-right politics became increasingly prominent during its run. Though its political commentary has been praised by critics, it has also drawn flak from audiences who disagree with its liberal viewpoint on American politics.
