one of the newer arrivals worth your time, The Boys Presents: Diabolical is currently streaming in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video with a 7/10 audience score that speaks for itself. 8 episodes — the right length to tell the story it is telling. Television that earns its era label is rarer than the number of shows attempting it suggests — most of what gets called prestige TV is really just expensive TV. The Boys Presents: Diabolical is one of the genuine examples: the craft is there in the writing, the performances, and the way it handles its subject matter. The cast was assembled to serve the material, and it shows in every scene. Available now on streaming — no excuses left for not watching it.

The Boys Presents: Diabolical has the visual identity that makes it immediately recognisable, and the writing to back it up. From some of the most unhinged and maniacal minds in Hollywood today comes this animated anthology series, a collection of irreverent and emotionally shocking animated short films. Each episode plunges elbow-deep into unseen crevices of The Boys Universe. It aired in 2022. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages. The animation style is distinctive enough to be immediately recognisable, but it is the writing underneath that keeps viewers coming back season after season.

The kind of animated series that belongs on any best-TV list regardless of format. The complete run is available and worth watching in order — the character development is cumulative. The visual design is immediately distinctive, but it is the writing that explains why The Boys Presents: Diabolical has the following it does. Adult animation that actually works for adults tends to lean hard on either comedy or drama — this one has the balance to do both without losing its footing. Viewers who responded to Secret Level will find the same commitment to quality here.
