The Boys

2019 54K members 4 seasons70 episodes

The world is full of superheroes that are managed by the company Vought International. They are in charge of their promotion and marketing. They are not all heroic and perfect. Most of the heroes are arrogant. There are two groups that have formed: the Seven, Vought's first team of superheroes, which is led by Homelander (Anthony Starr), a more vicious sort of Superman, and the Boys, vigilantes seeking to bring down Vought and its corrupt superheroes, who have the Butcher (Karl Urban) as their leader.

Hughie Campbell (Jack Quaid) has a boring job and a fairly empty life. Only Robin, his girlfriend, brings him some happiness. But a superhero accidentally kills her. With rage in his stomach, Hughie joins the Boys to take down the Seven.

On the Seven's side, a new superheroine joins the team, Starlight (Erin Moriarty). Real name Stella, this young heroine is discovering more and more about the rotten world of superheroes.

Around them gravitate the disillusioned Queen Maeve (Dominique McElligott), the drug addict A-Train (Jessie Usher), the unbalanced The Deep (Chace Crawford), the invisible Translucent (Alex Hassell) or the Frenchman (Tomer Kapon).

Marvel's Jessica Jones: A Superhero Noir to Add to Your BetaSeries Watchlist

From the bustling streets of New York City emerges a different kind of hero – one who's traded her superhero costume for a private investigator’s badge. Meet Jessica Jones, the lead character in Marvel’s critically acclaimed TV series 'Jessica Jones'. With its edgy storytelling, compelling characters, and masterful blend of crime drama and superhero action, this show is a must-add to your BetaSeries account.

The series follows the life of Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), a former superhero who has hung up her cape due to a tragic incident. Haunted by her past and grappling with PTSD, she now leads a quiet life as a private investigator. However, when people with remarkable abilities start cropping up in her cases and an old nemesis resurfaces, she is compelled to confront her past and use her powers for good once again.

What sets 'Jessica Jones' apart from other superhero series is its deep dive into more mature themes such as trauma, power dynamics, consent and recovery. It brings humanity to its superhuman characters through their personal struggles - whether it's Jessica grappling with PTSD or Trish Walker (Rachael Taylor), her best friend struggling with addiction while striving to make an impact in society. The complex relationships between these characters enrich the narrative making each episode more engaging than the last.

Shock factor on par with Game of Thrones. I grew up on Comics, but was not familiar with this series/characters and I think that adds to my intrigue. Basically an extremely graphic, dark, but quasi believable iteration of super heroes If you struggle with gore, this may not be the show for you.
