About Season 1
Plot
What if superheroes were an integral part of the world? Yes, Marvel and DC have shown this in their films, but they forgot to mention that each of the superheroes has a dark side. In this series, she is shown very clearly. Let the "supers" be the main stars saving humanity, but in reality they turn out to be the same personalities with their demons. They use their abilities for the sake of PR and profit, and if their reputation is under threat, they do not hesitate to do everything (including murder) in order to restore it. In this world, the "super heroes" are opposed by the "Boys" team, which consists of ordinary people who were once inflicted with incredible pain by superheroes.
Season 2 Episode Titles:
- "The Big Ride" - "Big ride".
- "Proper Preparation and Planning" - "Proper preparation and planning."
