The Boys

The show is a lot better than the book to be honest. The book is pretty good for a laugh most of the time, and there are genuinely great characters, but it's a bit up it's own ass, and at times feels more concerned with shitting on superheroes for the sake of it instead of telling the story.

It's a common problem with Garth Ennis cause at times he's more concerned with using his characters as his own personal soapbox. Butcher and Jesse Custer are literally the same fucking character. Two hard bad asses who constantly go on rants about something or other because something triggered Garth that day.

Like, don't get me wrong, Garth Ennis is a great writer, but he'd be a lot better if he wasn't so concerned with constantly telling people his opinions on everything.
