Trailer: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B07SZK5J7D/ref=atv_dp_watch_trailer_tv?autoplay=1
Based on the comic book from Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson (among other artists). Ennis is Irish and used to drink too much and wrote the best Hellblazer (Constantine) and The Punisher comics out there - that's not debatable, that's just the truth. So that should give you an idea about the kind of superhero show you're about to watch.
Developed for television by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, who recently worked together to develop another Ennis property, Preacher.
The first episode is directed by The Totally Rad Show alumni Dan Trachtenberg, director of 10 Cloverfield Lane.

At its heart, however, a story of star-crossed lovers ...........

Shaun of the Dead as someone, you know you want to watch it because he's in it
A parody on super heroics in general with an extremely satirical take, as one would expect from Ennis. It's gruesome, crass, crude, self referential in its way, and has a far higher budget and production value than it deserves. It goes farther, in that it's poignant in regards to politics, American society, corporatism, and more. It's truly a better show than you're expecting if all you've seen are the trailers.

The Gist
Wikipedia said:The Boys is set in a universe where superpowered individuals are recognized as heroes by the general public and owned by powerful corporation Vought International, which markets and monetizes them. Outside of their heroic personas, most are arrogant and corrupt. The series primarily focuses on two groups: the Seven, Vought International's premier superhero team, and the titular Boys, vigilantes looking to keep the corrupted heroes under control.
The Boys are led by Billy Butcher, who despises all superpowered people, and the Seven are led by the egotistical and unstable Homelander.
