The Boys: the Abuse of Power in Positions of Authority
While we’ve seen the concept of corrupt law enforcement in countless mediums, a recent example who has done it in a way that mirrors reality uncannily well is the Amazon Prime Original TV series The Boys (2019). Based off the controversial graphic novel of the same name written by Garth Ennis, The Boys in its very concept exemplifies how its superheroes/superhero corporation, called Vought, act as direct metaphors of police officers and the reality of our current law enforcement system. The Boys delves into the nefarious underbelly of capitalism and corporate America, and boy, does it go all in. (Warning: Spoilers ahead!)
