Pimp a Current / Newish Fandom Week: The Boys
First Fandom: The Boys (Available on Amazon Prime, one season out, renewed for season 2). Warning this is a very bloody show - like A-Train (picture the Flash) running through someone levels of gore.
It is a world with superheroes, but everything is done through a corporation. There are no supervillains, just superheroes and they're all under contract through the Voight company. The thing is just because you are a superhero, doesn't mean you are a good person. Enter our "heroes" - Butcher the ex-CIA operative who recruits poor, sweet Hughie (who was a superfan until witnessing A-Train exploding his girlfriend and not giving a dang about it) to help him and his ragtag team "The Boys". Frenchie is the weapons expert, Mother's Milk is more like a regular CIA agent. They are trying to find a way to bring down "The Seven" which is basically their equivalent of the Avengers. The Seven is lead by Homelander (Superman only with a Captain America vibe) is actually pretty nuts. I don't want to give too much of the plot away but it is definitely worth watching.
