What Season 1 of The Boys

Hughie Campbell works at an electronics store until A-Train, the Seven's speedster, accidentally kills his girlfriend. That event leads him to join Billy Butcher, played by Karl Urban, a vigilante who hates every superhuman. Together they form The Boys, a group that hunts corrupt heroes. The Supes are admired by the public, but they work for Vought International, a corporation that exploits their fame and promotes them. Standing in their way is Vought's star team, led by the violent Homelander. The season shows the clash between the two sides and The Boys' war against a system that protects the Supes.
