Amazon’s The Boys is an irreverent take on what happens when superheroes, who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians and as revered as Gods, abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good.

It’s the powerless against the super powerful as The Boys embark on a heroic quest to expose the truth about “The Seven,” and their formidable Vought backing.

When he reluctantly agrees to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit against the biggest client of the massive law firm he helped create, Billy and his ragtag team uncover a vast and deadly conspiracy, pitting them all in a life-or-death trial against the ultimate Goliath.

Season 2 plunges its most beloved characters into a rising tide of darkness, challenging each to find his or her place in a world on the brink of calamity. If you haven’t started this series yet, start with Season 1 and then know Season 2 is a real adventure.

House Hunters, Season 9

If you canceled your cable and are relying entirely on streaming services, this is your way back into HGTV shows totally free with your Prime membership. Season 9 was only released a few months ago, so this is pretty recent (the same stuff you’d likely see airing on any given weeknight on the real-deal channel).

And if this is the kind of stuff you watch, you’ll want to comb through our home and real estate archives for drool-worthy estates.
