S01E01 The Name of the Game
In a world where super-powered "Supes" exist and can do whatever they want with the help of the corporation that supports them, normal men are powerless. But one man, Hughie Campbell, vows to fight back after a Supe accidentally kills his girlfriend. A shadowy figure, Billy Butcher, contacts Hughie and recruits the younger man to help him.
Pilot note — From the desk: The Boys opens its catalog run with “The Name of the Game” (2019-07-26). Streaming's defining anti-superhero hit; satire that kept escalating with the culture. Homelander discourse, spinoff sprawl, and "too gross or too real?" weekly takes.
