Starlight (Erin Moriarty) in shock in The Boys
The Big Picture When it comes to riveting dramas centered around complex characters, few series have accomplished as much as The Boys. This may shock people who aren't too familiar with the show; created by Eric Kripke, this gritty, visceral approach to the superhero genre has gained acclaim largely for the inventively gory scenes it features throughout each season.
Creator Eric Kripke Cast Karl Urban , Antony Starr , Chace Crawford , Jack Quaid , Colby Minifie , Aya Cash , Erin Moriarty , Dominique McElligott , Laz Alonso Main Genre Superhero Studio Amazon Studios Starlight Has Experienced Some of the Most Growth on 'The Boys' For all of its powers and violence, it's how The Boys builds out its wide cast of characters that genuinely makes it so great.
Not only because of the horrific act of violence itself, but because audiences see this overwhelmingly good person realize that the entire world she'd committed herself to is a lie, that "superheroes" are the ultimate marketing strategy and the empowered individuals she once idolized are actually terrifying villains.
This is terrible enough, but the reveal that she was kidnapped by a shapeshifting Supe only further displays how inefficient the series establishes her compared to her capable contemporaries. However, the season finale saw her escape captivity and have a cliché power-up scene where she kills the shapeshifter, with her last moment onscreen actually seeing her heroically fly away, escaping the imprisonment the rest of The Boys suffer.
