The Boys seasons 1 & 2 synopses

Wondering what to expect from the first and second seasons of The Boys as they hit Blu-ray? Below we recap the first two seasons via the official synopsis for season 1 and season 2 via Sony Pictures Home Entertainment:

"The Boys season 1 synopsisTHE BOYS is an irreverent take on what happens when superheroes — 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 superpowerful as The Boys embark on a heroic quest to expose the truth about “The Seven” and their formidable Vought backing.The Boys season 2 synopsisIn a more intense Season 2 of THE BOYS, Butcher, Hughie, and the team reel from their losses in Season 1. On the run from the law, they struggle to fight back against the superheroes. Meanwhile, Vought, the hero management company, cashes in on the panic over supervillains; and a new hero, Stormfront, shakes up the company and challenges an already unstable Homelander."

The Boys seasons 1 & 2 Blu-ray collection bonus features

In addition to containing all 16 episodes featured across the two seasons, The Boys Blu-ray collection includes a number of bonus features to enjoy.

Included in the collection are deleted scenes and a blooper reel for both seasons, but that’s not all! The season 2 discs also include extended scenes as well as Butcher: A Short Film. The five-minute short film helps fill in the gap between season 1 and season 2 to reveal what happened during Billy Butcher’s missing couple of weeks after the events of season 1.

Is The Boys seasons 1 & 2 Blu-ray collection worth it?

As a fan and consumer, the driving decision behind my personal decision to purchase the latest season set of my favorite shows typically comes down to the collection’s special features – after all, I already have seen the episodes and have the ability to re-watch them via the many streaming services I subscribe to.

In looking at a DVD and Blu-ray release, I’m looking for never-before-seen features which provide me with new material to enjoy; features I’ll only find via the series’ home video release. Typically, this entails looking for a release to feature items such as deleted scenes and special bonus featurettes including gag reels, comic-con panels and behind-the-scenes features.

So how does The Boys seasons 1 & 2 Blu-ray collection measure up with this all in mind?

Perhaps it’s because I just love this series so much, but purchasing this collection was a must for me even before seeing what bonus features it included. Once I did see the bonus features, I will confess I was impressed.

Sure there could be some more bonus featurettes, but the collection features some really nice bonus features including new footage in the form of the deleted and extended scenes. Plus, I’m a total sucker for a blooper reel and the blooper reels for both seasons are so great and are sure to make you smile.

If you’re someone who loves owning a physical collection of the shows you love and some bonus features, I think you’re going to love The Boys seasons 1 & 2 Blu-ray collection!
