The Boys

Beer Score: 2

Genre: Action, Comedy, Drama, Superhero

Description: The Boys flips the superhero genre on its head — what if the heroes were actually narcissistic maniacs owned by a giant corporation? The show follows a group of regular (and slightly unhinged) people trying to take them down. It’s got blood, dark humor, and social commentary disguised as absolute chaos.

Reviewer: Caden

I give it 2 beers because it’s still one of the most entertaining shows out there, but the shock value can get a little heavy. Still, few things beat watching Homelander lose his mind while everyone pretends they’re not terrified.

Review Scale Below

On this scale, fewer beers means a better movie. If a film keeps you so engaged that you don’t need a drink, it scores low. The more beers it takes to get through, the worse the movie was.

  • 1 Beer: Great — only one beer for fun, not survival.

  • 2 Beers: Decent — had a few slow parts, but still enjoyable.

  • 3 Beers: Meh — starting to need drinks to stay entertained.

  • 4 Beers: Rough — alcohol improves it more than the plot does.

  • 5 Beers: Terrible — only bearable if you’re too buzzed to care.
