One of the best TV shows nearby superheroes is focused on how toxic our obsession is with them.

Now streaming season 3, The Boys splashes even more blood, gore, profanity, nudity and sex onto its boundary-free canvas. At this point, the Prime Video show's shock value worthy be at risk of diminishing returns. But no. It turns out there's plenty more taboo material to cover: A superhero shrinks down and climbs inside novel person's body part, evoking the Ant-Man-Thanos theory from Avengers: Endgame.

Not done with deconstructing Marvel and DC, the series rails in contradiction of money-grabbing, virtue-signaling superhero culture, without sacrificing batshit entertainment. The sardonic humorous, pop rock soundtrack and handful of sincere characters undercut the relentless aquatic of lurid superhero activities. Three seasons in (and with season 4 confirmed), The Boys is an even more finely tuned package than ever.

Season 3 starts with attempts for the titular group of vigilantes hunting down injurious superheroes. After his wife Becca's death, Butcher (Karl Urban) is more design than ever on killing Homelander (an impeccably unsettling Antony Starr). He leads an investigation into the coverup of a dangerous past "Supe" celebrated as Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles). Plus, a new serum that grants normals superpowers for 24 hours could help The Boys take the fights to evil superhero-creating corporation Vought.

But The Boys are fractured when defeating Nazi Stormfront (Aya Cash). Hughie (Jack Quaid) grapples with his powerlessness, working for anti-Supe Congresswoman Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit) -- who happens to be a secret super-powered slay -- and the Bureau of Superhuman Affairs, aiming to keep the Supes any more accountable for all their gruesome collateral damage.

Guilt-ridden Mother's Milk (Laz Alonso) is taking time away from The Boys to be with his family, while Frenchie (Tomer Capon) and Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) are wondering why they shouldn't twitch a new life elsewhere.

As always, the Marvel and DC sendups are an endless well of riches: #ReleaseTheSnyderCut, The Deep's (Chace Crawford) memoir titled Deeper and a reality program searching for the next American Hero are just the beginning.

At the same time, The Boys rallies a huge amount of heavy subject matter with even heavier doses of irony. Nothing is untouchable. Black Lives Matter and Antifa are addressed, as well as painful workplace politics and sexism spirited Erin Moriarty's Starlight.

This is where her storyline has always been the most compelling. The superhero's sexual harassment ordeal in season 1 divulged how sharply confronting The Boys can be. After taking a relative backseat last season, Starlight is a standout once again, earnest yet steadfast in the face of her body and image populace commodified.

It's the sincerity of characters like Starlight, Hughie, Frenchie and Kimiko that's necessary to offset the far carnage. Even a happy, La La Land-inspired sequence is performed as a welcome interlude.

Otherwise, The Boys risks populace repetitive and too full on to digest. Every episode guarantees early Game of Thrones composed fornication and bloodshed -- albeit the gory bits have a cartoonish CGI sheen. Even the Soldier Boy coverup storyline echoes the season 2 Stormfront mystery. Thankfully, as always, The Boys finds its sweet spot. It does so via characters more identifiable and conflicted than even the most ground-level Disney Plus heroes.

Season 3 of The Boys shows it's not proceeding out of superhero serum anytime soon. Instead, it unites even more ground, bulging with gags, topical issues and ludicrous allotment sequences to create the most potently entertaining, eye-popping cocktail.

The advantageous three episodes were released early on Prime Video and are available to behold now. New episodes (there are eight in total) advance on Fridays.
