Welcome to Should I Watch, a series dedicated to revisiting great television shows that deserve your attention. From old school to contemporary favorites, we will tell you why we think these are the shows worth checking out. Some series are recognizable by name alone even if you have never seen a single episode.

In our second episode, we take a deep dive into Amazon Prime's The Boys, based on the comic by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, and starring Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher and many more. The first season was a breakout hit for the service, and with season two dropping September 4th, is now the time to catch up on what's become a bonafide cultural phenomenon?
