Amazon Prime's The Boys shares a striking number of similarities to another short-lived superhero property. Sadly, it was only given one season.

Summary

The Boys' success proves that adult comic book adaptations are thriving, making Watchmen deserving of a second season.
Both The Boys and Watchmen offer a fresh take on costumed crime fighters, but Watchmen's gritty drama provides a grounded alternative to the humor in The Boys.
While Watchmen's creator feels the story is complete, the inconclusive ending leaves viewers hungry for more and eager for additional content.
