“I don’t know what kind of crystal ball Eric Kripke has … we shot this show last year, July to November. This (very) gory, not-for-kids action show features the superheroes, known as “supes,” as they chase glory often by immoral—and many times illegal—choices. Not following the typical good versus evil plots, Kripke’s deeper dives this season include today's issues of systemic racism and capitalism. And my response is like these were issues a year ago, five years ago, 10 years ago, 50 years ago. Positioning itself as Prime’s flagship show, “The Boys” may have some help as the COVID-19 pandemic halted or delayed many previously scheduled productions.
