    Crossed. I’m actually concerned. Crossed is awful. I mean I loved it, but I don’t see how it could be put in front of anyone and not be considered smut.

      Yeah, frankly I feel the Boys is as gory as I want things to get, my gf closes her eyes throughout about half of each episode as is!

      What else though? The Boys isn’t just gore and nudity, but actually has an intriguing story & characters. If it is just hyper violence and sex, then I don’t think I’d be too interested in it, because that’s not what ultimately makes The Boys so great.

        Haven’t read it, but it’s about an apocalyptic scenario where normal people turn into absolute psychopaths. The Asian movie The Sadness has a similar premise.

        There are different story lines, but the world is one where there is an infection that basically damages the parts of people’s brains that are responsible for morality. They can think and talk, but there is zero impulse control. Lots of rape and murder. It’s pretty fucked. I didn’t read all of what’s out there but what I did read was bleak at best.

        It usually follows a small group of survivors a la walking dead.
