The Boys Fans Urged Not To Watch New Season With Family After 'Human Centipede Sauna Scene'

The show follows a group of vigilantes as they confront those who misuse their superpowers.

It's known for its bold approach to shock value, and this season is no different.

One particular scene from the second episode has fans flocking to social media in shock and disgust, and the reactions are entirely justified.

So what exactly happens in this scene?

It unfolds in a sauna, where a Supe (a person with powers), who can clone himself, decides to indulge in sexual activities with his clones.

You might think that's quite bizarre, but things on TV get weirder, right?

Well, this scene has been compared to "The Human Centipede," which should give you an idea of its explicit nature.

This is the scene that characters Kimiko (played by Karen Fukuhara) and Frenchie (Tomer Capone) walk in on.

They encounter this unsettling scenario while investigating a convention centered around conspiracy theories during the season's second episode.

Despite being a brief moment, it's left a lasting impression on viewers, and definitely not in a good way.

People are even advising each other not to watch the show with family members.

One viewer who made the mistake of doing so shared their dismay on TikTok.

In the video's comments, people shared their thoughts.

"I won't be caught dead watching 'The Boys' with my parents," one person declared.

Another echoed, "Watching 'The Boys' with your family was the first mistake."

The reactions weren't limited to TikTok. Fans also expressed their horror on X, formerly known as Twitter. 

One user tweeted, "That sauna scene almost made me throw up." 

While another wrote, "Genuinely might never go into a sauna again without suffering PTSD."

It's unclear whether the show will continue to push boundaries after the sauna scene, but for the sake of the viewers' comfort, let's hope not.

Despite needing some metaphorical eye bleach, the fourth season has received high praise, boasting a 95 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 75 reviews.

The site's consensus praises the season, stating: 

"Boxing in the political arena with a bloodied smile, 'The Boys' fourth season is grim and even a little glum while holding up a cracked mirror towards modern society."

New episodes of "The Boys" will continue to be released every Thursday on Amazon Prime.
