About The Boys
In a world where superheroes embrace the darker side of their massive celebrity and fame, The Boys centres on a group of vigilantes known informally as "The Boys," who set out to take down corrupt superheroes with no more than blue collar grit and a willingness to fight dirty.
How to get through The Boys faster
- Skip the intro. Roughly a minute and a quarter per episode adds up to about 50 minutes across the whole run.
- Bump the speed. At 1.25× the total drops to 33.4 hours; at 1.5× it's 27.8 hours.
- Watch with a comment section. A running conversation pinned to each moment makes long stretches feel shorter, and it's the reason TalkAbtIT exists.
