Quick heads up before we dive in: The Boys is… a lot. Like, genuinely a lot. It earns its TV-MA rating in every single episode. It’s not for everyone, and it’s important to remember that filters can’t skip everything. BUT if you want to watch (or rewatch) with a little less chaos, VidAngel lets you filter out graphic content so you can enjoy the story without the parts that make you want to hide behind a throw pillow. It’s the same brilliant, biting satire — just with the volume turned down on the way-too-over-the-top parts. More on that at the end.

The Boys World, Briefly Explained

Welcome to a world where superheroes are real. The public calls them Supes. A massive corporation called Vought International owns, markets, and monetizes every single one of them. Their crown jewel is The Seven, an elite team of superpowered celebrities, except instead of saving the world, they’re mostly managing brand deals and signing NDAs.

Here’s the twist: Supes aren’t born. They’re made. Vought has been secretly injecting infants with a drug called Compound V for decades and then acting completely shocked when those babies grow up with superpowers and a PR team.

Now you know. Let’s talk about what happens when regular people find out.

The Boys Season 1 Recap

Hughie Campbell is a perfectly nice guy working at an electronics store who cannot bring himself to ask for a raise. His life implodes when A-Train, a speedster Supe running through a crowded street while high on Compound V, accidentally vaporizes his girlfriend Robin. Like, actually vaporizes her. A-Train pauses briefly, acknowledges the situation, and keeps running. Yeah, you may want to set your VidAngel filters for that one.

Enter Billy Butcher, the human equivalent of a lit fuse wearing a peacoat. He’s gruff, he’s British, and he has a deeply personal vendetta against Supes. He recruits Hughie into a scrappy vigilante operation he calls The Boys, alongside:

• Frenchie: chemist, chaos agent, the guy who will absolutely improvise something dangerous if you give him ten minutes and a hardware store
• Mother’s Milk (M.M.): the responsible adult the group desperately needs and frequently ignores
• Kimiko: a Supe, who’s traumatized, mute, and capable of handling herself in pretty much any situation

On the other side: Annie January (AKA Starlight) is a genuinely good person who just wanted to be a hero. After she earns a spot in The Seven, The Deep immediately assaults her (think Aquaman, but significantly worse), and she slowly realizes that the superhero industry is just corporate evil in spandex. She and Hughie meet in Central Park. They fall for each other, which is enormously complicated, because he’s secretly spying on her employer.

The Boys spend Season 1 capturing and eventually killing Translucent (a member of The Seven whose superpower is going invisible and being insufferable), exposing Vought’s use of Compound V on infants, and uncovering that Homelander — Vought’s “Superman”, except genuinely terrifying — secretly created superpowered terrorists to pressure the government into militarizing Supes.

We also learn the wound that drives everything Butcher does: Homelander assaulted his wife Becca, who disappeared shortly after. The season ends with Butcher chaotically cornering Vought VP Madelyn Stillwell. But Homelander kills her himself, saves Butcher from his own explosion, and then flies him to suburban neighborhood where Becca is very much alive, raising Homelander’s son.

The Boys Season 2 Recap

Season 2 opens with The Boys as wanted fugitives, Butcher framed for Stillwell’s murder, and a mysterious assassin who kills people by making their heads explode (but luckily there’s VidAngel to skip over that).

The big new arrival is Stormfront, a social media-savvy Supe who’s excellent at memes and has a secretly evil past. And compound V has been powering her for over a century. She and Homelander start dating, which somehow feels inevitable.

Meanwhile, Kimiko’s brother Kenji resurfaces as a Supe terrorist. In one of the season’s most gut-wrenching sequences, Stormfront kills him and an apartment building full of innocent civilians in the process, then blames Kenji for the deaths.

The Boys expose Stormfront’s past. The internet briefly does the right thing. Stormfront is ultimately taken down, not by the government or a tactical strike, but by Ryan, Becca and Homelander’s young son, who accidentally unleashes a devastating blast trying to protect his mother. The blast cripples Stormfront. It also mortally wounds Becca, who dies in Butcher’s arms asking him to protect Ryan.

Queen Maeve, who spent most of the season paralyzed by her own moral cowardice, finally does the right thing, blackmailing Homelander with footage of him abandoning a full plane of passengers to die, buying Butcher and Ryan enough time to escape.

Vought drops all charges against The Boys. Hughie, ever the optimist, ends the season taking a job with Congresswoman Victoria Neuman.

The Boys Season 3 Recap

A year after the Stormfront scandal, The Boys are working as actual government contractors under Neuman’s Bureau of Superhuman Affairs. Things feel almost… stable. And then, because this is The Boys, absolutely nothing stays stable.

Season 3 introduces Soldier Boy — raised in the 1950s and with the wrinkle that he’s Homelander’s biological father. The Russians held him in a lab for decades, and his power can literally strip other Supes of their abilities — which makes him a very appealing weapon against Homelander.

The other big development: V24, a temporary Compound V variant that gives regular people Supe powers for a few hours. Butcher starts using it. Hughie starts using it. The show says a lot about men who feel powerless reaching for shortcuts that cost more than they think.

Butcher uses V24 long enough to become terminally ill. Homelander kills Black Noir for withholding the Soldier Boy secret. Queen Maeve apparently sacrifices herself stopping Soldier Boy, though she survives but is depowered. Annie quits The Seven on a live stream, publicly condemning Vought and Homelander in what is honestly a cathartic four minutes of television.

The season ends at a Homelander rally where he kills a supporter for throwing a can at Ryan. The crowd cheers louder. Ryan smiles. 

The Boys Season 4 Recap

Season 4 is the season where things get really dark (relative to a show that was already quite dark, which is saying something).

Homelander is riding high on his cult of personality. He recruits Sister Sage, the smartest person on the planet, to the Seven. She immediately starts engineering actual societal collapse. She instigates riots, frames The Boys’ allies for murder, and orchestrates a plan to install Homelander’s handpicked political allies in the White House. It’s a whole thing.

Hallucinations of his dead wife Becca and his old war buddy Joe Kessler (who he eventually realizes has also been dead for years) haunt Butcher. Dying from his V24 abuse, the hallucinations are his V-tumored brain staging an internal war between the man he used to be and the monster he’s becoming. It does not go great.

The Boys pull off heists, infiltrate Supe parties, and get closer than ever to Homelander, while Homelander gets closer than ever to unchecked power. By the season finale, Victoria Neuman is dead, Singer is arrested, a Homelander loyalist becomes President, and martial law is declared with Homelander deputized as its enforcement arm.

Homelander’s forces capture most of The Boys. Annie is on the run. Butcher, fully leaning into the darkest version of himself, drives off alone with a virus capable of killing every Supe on Earth.

And in a mid-credits scene, the new President shows Homelander exactly where Soldier Boy is being held… Season 5 is going to be a lot.

Before You Watch The Boys: VidAngel Filters

Here’s the thing about The Boys: the satire is sharp and the characters are layered. BUT it also has some of the most graphic violence, sexual content, and disturbing imagery in pretty much every episode. That’s not hyperbole. That’s just the show.

That said — and we want to be straight with you — filters aren’t a complete transformation. The themes of the show are baked in. The storyline still includes:

• Sexual assault: A main character is assaulted in the first episode. Her journey processing that experience drives her entire arc. You won’t have to watch it, but you’ll need to know it happened.
• Racism and racially-motivated violence: A major villain’s entire arc is built around white supremacist ideology, including brutal violence against minority characters. It’s central to how the season’s story resolves.
• Child abuse and trauma: Homelander was raised in a lab, experimented on, and denied basic human connection. That backstory is the key to understanding who he is and why he’s terrifying.
• Suicide: The suicide of Butcher’s younger brother is the emotional wound underneath everything he does. It comes up, and it matters.
• Addiction: Compound V addiction is a direct plot driver for multiple characters across all four seasons.

The characters who experience these things are central to the story. Filters can spare you the most visceral visual moments, but they can’t change what the show is about — and what it’s about is often heavy, on purpose. You may decide to watch it, filter it, or skip it altogether. You get to decide.

VidAngel Filters: Skip the Graphic Violence and Profantiy

If the story still sounds compelling but the intense scenes are the barrier, or if you want to share it with someone who might not be up for the full unfiltered experience, VidAngel can help make things a bit more comfortable. With VidAngel filters, you customize what you filter (language, violence, sexual content) so you can watch The Boys at the level that works for you. Same story, same characters — just with a few less scenes that make you say “okay, I did NOT need to see that.”

This Month’s Most-Watched Filtered Content

#1 The Madison

From Taylor Sheridan, The Madison follows the Clyburn family as they uproot their comfortable New York City lives and head to Montana’s Madison River Valley after a devastating loss.

Why VidAngel users love it: Taylor Sheridan fans who filtered their way through Yellowstone will feel right at home here. Filtering the language lets the emotional performances from Pfeiffer and Russell take center stage without interruption, and the sweeping Montana landscapes hit even harder when nothing else is in the way.

War Machine puts Alan Ritchson front and center as a combat-hardened Army Ranger candidate known only as “81.” On the final day of an already brutal selection course, his unit’s training exercise turns into a desperate fight for survival when they encounter a massive, otherworldly killing machine. The Predator-style sci-fi action hits fast and doesn’t let up.

Why VidAngel users love it: Ritchson proved himself as an action star in Reacher, and War Machine delivers that same no-nonsense intensity at full volume. Filtering the grisly violence and heavy language means the pulse-pounding tension of the Ranger training and the alien threat can carry the film without the distractions.

#3 The Night Agent

Brought together by a midnight phone call, an FBI agent and a cybersecurity expert must unravel an ever-growing web of political conspiracies in The Night Agent. Now in its third season, agent Peter Sutherland is sent to Istanbul to track down a Treasury Agent who fled with sensitive government intel — kicking off a new international chase through dark money networks, buried secrets, and paid assassins. The series remains one of Netflix’s most-watched thrillers for good reason: the pace never lets up.

Why VidAngel users love it: This edge-of-your-seat spy thriller comes loaded with action, language, and intense violence — all of which VidAngel users can dial back without losing the suspense. It’s a great pick for thriller fans who want the tension without the content baggage.

Filter options available: A total of 1,508 filters, with an average of 51 filter options per episode

#4 Scarpetta

Based on Patricia Cornwell’s bestselling novels, Scarpetta stars Nicole Kidman as Dr. Kay Scarpetta, a forensic pathologist who returns to her role as Virginia’s chief medical examiner—only to find her newest case eerily mirrors a career-defining one from nearly 30 years ago. The series unfolds across two timelines, with Jamie Lee Curtis, Bobby Cannavale, Simon Baker, and Ariana DeBose rounding out the all-star cast.

Why VidAngel users love it: A smart, character-driven crime thriller anchored by two of Hollywood’s most compelling actresses. Filtering Scarpetta trims the graphic autopsy and crime scene content while preserving all the psychological tension and dual-timeline mystery that keeps viewers guessing.

Filter options available: A total of 1049 filters, with an average of 132 filter options per episode

• 365 instances of foul language, including:
  • 193 F-words

#5 Marshals

Kayce Dutton trades the Yellowstone Ranch for a badge in Marshals, the CBS spinoff from the Yellowstone universe. Luke Grimes reprises his role as the former Navy SEAL turned Special Deputy U.S. Marshal, leading an elite team protecting Montana from everything from militia threats to reservation violence—all while trying to rebuild his life after personal tragedy.

Why VidAngel users love it: Yellowstone fans who filtered their way through five seasons are ready to follow Kayce to his next chapter. Filtering Marshals keeps the gritty Western atmosphere and action-driven storylines while cutting the content that interrupted family viewing of the original series.

Bridgerton returns for its highly anticipated fourth season, this time centering on bohemian second son Benedict Bridgerton and his enchanting “Lady in Silver,” Sophie Baek. When a captivating masked stranger disappears from his mother’s masquerade ball, Benedict sets out on a society-wide search—only the audience discovers that the woman who captured his heart is actually a resourceful lady’s maid with her own secrets and dreams. It’s a Regency-era Cinderella story that explores what happens when passion meets an impossible class divide.

Why VidAngel users love it: Bridgerton is beloved for its lush period romance and witty storytelling, but its steamier scenes and language can make it tricky for mixed-audience viewing. VidAngel lets families and couples customize filters for sexual content and profanity so everyone can enjoy the intrigue of the ton.

Filter options available: A total of 3,185 filters, with an average of 100 filter options per episode

• 146 instances of foul language, including:

• and more

Content Advisory: Rated TV-MA

Streaming platform: Netflix

Genre: Romance, Drama, and Period

Starring: Luke Thompson, Yerin Ha, Ruth Gemmell, Jonathan Bailey, Adjoa Andoh

#7 Young Sherlock

Long before Baker Street, there was Oxford. Young Sherlock finds a 19-year-old Holmes (Hero Fiennes Tiffin) disgraced and in trouble—until a campus murder thrusts him into his very first investigation. Directed by Guy Ritchie and inspired by Andrew Lane’s Young Sherlock Holmes novels, the series follows Holmes and a young James Moriarty as they team up to clear their names and unravel a globe-spanning conspiracy.

Why VidAngel users love it: A fresh, action-packed take on one of fiction’s greatest minds, set in Victorian England but paced like a Guy Ritchie film. Filtering the fight sequences and occasional strong language makes Young Sherlock a legitimately fun family adventure, especially for older kids and teens who love mysteries.

Filter options available: A total of 410 filters, with an average of 52 filter options per episode

• 41 instances of foul language, including:
  • 4 F-words

Aldis Hodge returns as Alex Cross in Season 2 of the Prime Video hit based on James Patterson’s bestselling novels. With his first case closed and a new threat on the horizon, the D.C. forensic psychologist and homicide detective is pulled into a darker, more personal investigation—one that forces him to question the very system he’s sworn to protect.

Why VidAngel users love it: Cross is a sharp, character-driven thriller carried by one of TV’s most compelling performances. Filtering the language and violent content keeps Alex’s psychological approach and the cat-and-mouse tension right at the center, which is precisely where it belongs.

Filter options available: A total of 1,721 filters, with an average of 108 filter options per episode

• 728 instances of foul language, including:
  • 287 F-words

• and more

#9 Outlander

After 12 years, Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire Fraser (Caitríona Balfe) are home. Outlander‘s eighth and final season finds the Frasers back at Fraser’s Ridge as the American Revolution closes in around them. New arrivals and buried secrets threaten to tear the family apart from within, and fans will have to decide what they’re willing to sacrifice to see the legendary love story reach its end. The final season earned a perfect 100% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes (as of 3/25/36).

Why VidAngel users love it: Outlander is one of the great epic romances in television history and one of the most-filtered shows on VidAngel. The final season rewards years of loyal viewing, and filtering the sexual content and violence means the emotional payoff of Jamie and Claire’s journey hits exactly as hard as it should.

Filter options available: A total of 6,473 filters, with an average of 70 filter options per episode (through season 8, episode 3)

#10 Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat

The creators of the beloved original Jury Duty are back: same concept, completely new world. Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat puts unsuspecting temp worker Anthony Norman at the center of an elaborate, entirely staged annual retreat for fictional hot-sauce company Rockin’ Grandma’s. Everyone around him is an actor. He has no idea. The result is genuinely hilarious, genuinely sweet, and one of the most inventive comedies streaming right now.

Why VidAngel users love it: The original Jury Duty became a word-of-mouth hit for families who love feel-good, unscripted comedy. Company Retreat brings that same warm, Truman Show-style magic—and filtering the language means the whole family can root for Anthony without any awkward moments.

Filter options available: A total of 189 filters, with an average of 63 filter options per episode (through season 1, episode 3)

• 83 instances of foul language, including:

What is The Night Agent?

Starring Gabriel Basso as FBI agent Peter Sutherland, the show follows a low-level agent who answers an emergency phone line that never rings—until the night it does, launching him into a deadly conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of government. It’s the kind of show that gets everyone talking, theorizing about plot twists, and eagerly anticipating the next episode. And, with The Night Agent season 3 on the way, it’s important for parents to be able to answer the question, “Is The Night Agent family-friendly?”

The Night Agent: Parent’s Guide to Age-Appropriate Viewing

When parents ask “can I watch The Night Agent with family?” they’re really asking whether the content is suitable for younger viewers. The honest answer? The Night Agent wasn’t made with family viewing in mind. The show’s intense political intrigue comes packaged with mature content that gives many parents pause, and for good reason. But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to enjoy together with the right audience and approach.

Is The Night Agent appropriate for teenagers? The short answer is—it depends on your family and your teen’s maturity level. Only you can decide what your teens are ready for. But how do you make that decision?

The Night Agent carries a TV-MA rating, which means it’s intended for mature audiences and may be unsuitable for children under 17. The show includes content advisories for violence, language, and some sexual content. According to Common Sense Media, the show features:

• Intense violence including shootings, fights, and deaths
• Strong language throughout episodes
• Some sexual content and references
• Mature themes involving government corruption and moral ambiguity

Its parents guide also says the recommended age for viewing is 15+. For many families with younger teens, these elements might feel like too much. But for older teens, parents often find themselves in that gray area, wanting to respect their teen’s maturity while still maintaining appropriate boundaries for their household.So, is The Night Agent family friendly in its original form? Not exactly. The answer to “can I watch The Night Agent with family?” doesn’t have to be an automatic “no”—it just requires the right tools.

Making The Night Agent Family-Friendly with VidAngel

This is where VidAngel becomes a game-changer for families wanting to experience great storytelling and the opportunity to process complex themes together without compromising their values or their teen’s appropriate exposure to mature content.

VidAngel gives you granular control over what plays on your screen. Instead of making an all-or-nothing decision—either watching the unfiltered version or skipping the show entirely—you can customize your viewing experience to match what works for your family. This transforms the question from “is The Night Agent family friendly” to “how can I make The Night Agent work for my family?”

Here’s how VidAngel filtering works with The Night Agent:

When you go to watch your show, you can select from a list of filtering options. You get to choose what stays and what goes. Once those filters are set, VidAngel automatically skips and mutes the words and scenes. Let’s take a deeper look at the filtering options available forThe Night Agent.

The Night Agent has an average of 51 filters available per episode. These filtering options include:

• Violence filters: 15 on average per episode
• Language and blasphemy filters: 27 on average per episode
• Sexual content filters: 3 on average per episode

The appeal of VidAngel is that you decide what gets filtered. Maybe your 16-year-old can handle the suspenseful action sequences, but you want to skip the explicit language. Or perhaps you’re comfortable with mild profanity but want to filter out the more graphic violence. Every family is different, and VidAngel respects that.

Your Family, Your Rules, Your Experience

At the end of the day, being a parent means making countless decisions about what’s right for your family. Not what some rating system decides. 

VidAngel isn’t about censorship—it’s about empowerment for families to make decisions that are right for themselves. It’s about reclaiming control over the media coming into your home and creating opportunities for shared experiences that might not otherwise be possible. 

That spy thriller your teen is dying to watch? The acclaimed drama everyone’s talking about at work? The action series that sparks great conversations about ethics and choices? These can all become family experiences when you have the tools to make them work for your household.

There is real value in watching quality entertainment together as a family: it creates shared experiences, opens doors for meaningful discussions, and gives you insight into the media your kids are consuming. With VidAngel, you’re not just filtering content—you’re filtering it your way. You’re making intentional choices about your family’s media consumption. You’re creating space for those teens on your couch to experience quality storytelling while still honoring the values and boundaries that matter in your home.

So go ahead. Queue up The Night Agent. Set your filters. Grab the popcorn. And enjoy unraveling that conspiracy together—on your terms.

Check out what explicit content and foul language VidAngel customers avoided this year because of our filters!

“Welcome to your VidAngel Wrapped. Or as I like to call it, ‘What humanity has been up to… and why I don’t know about it because I use filters.’ This year, VidAngel customers filtered out 263,024,703 pieces of profanity. That is not a small amount.

125 million of those were F-words. Because, apparently, writers think that if they don’t add the F-bomb every three seconds, the script won’t make sense. We also didn’t hear 56 million blasphemies. What happened to creativity? Let’s throw in a jazz hand or something next time.

Then there are 24,126,315 moments of graphic violence. Tell me why I know the exact sound a spleen makes now. Oh—and 19 million spicy scenes and 18.8 million instances of nudity. Because nothing says ‘essential to the plot’ like two characters who met four minutes ago being like, ‘Should we…?’ Not in my living room. And finally, 1,383,831 gory moments filtered out. Ew.

So yeah… VidAngel customers cleaned up all of that this year. Your eyeballs? Saved. Your kids? Untraumatized.”

Curious what was most watched by VidAngel customers in 2025? Here’s the breakdown of the top movies and TV shows, and the filter options provided by VidAngel:

As we bid adieu to the year, it’s also the perfect time to say goodbye to profanity and explicit content in your TV shows and movies. With VidAngel, confidently stream without compromising your values. Here’s to making 2026 even better—more great content, less guesswork, and the confidence to watch what you want, your way.

The post VidAngel Wrapped: Year-In-Review appeared first on VidAngel Blog.

It’s been about 47 years since season 3 was released last year. You may have forgotten who died, who lived, and who actually didn’t die, it’s hard to keep up. Not to mention, they keep finding themselves in the middle of massive treasure hunts. They’re out Indiana Jonesing Indiana Jones. Long story short of each season, treasure hunt goes down and and a Cameron or two are there. What you can expect from the fourth season: another treasure hunt.

If you need a little Outer Banks refresher, we got you. If you have never seen an episode, we pulled together everything you need to know about Outer Banks here. Hot take: If you’re not #TeamPogue, you’re probably on the wrong site altogether. Please go check out www.viddevil.com. That’s probably more your speed. Respectfully.

Outer Banks Season 1-3 Recap

Season 1 Recap

Season one starts off with the Pogues (John B., Sarah, JJ, Kiara, and Pope) looking for the Royal Merchant treasure led by John B. They end up finding the Royal Merchant treasure (YAY) but then are double-crossed by Ward Cameron. Who’s Ward Cameron? Sarah’s DAD. Her brother is also the worst. Story time: John B. is dating Sarah. Sarah’s dad, Ward Cameron doesn’t just double cross them in the hunt for the treasure, but frames John B. for MURDER. Kind of makes you wonder if John B. asked Ward Cameron for Sarah’s hand in marriage if he’d say yes? We’re jumping the gun a little bit, pun intended. Anyway, Ward Cameron convinces everyone that John B, Sarah’s bestowed, killed Sheriff Peterkin and that John B. stole the treasure. The season closes with John B and Sarah fleeing the Outer Banks, presumed dead after a violent storm. Turns out they’re not, they get rescued by a passing ship. Halleloo.

Season 2 Recap

Season two starts off with another treasure hunt. the remaining Pogues deciding to look for the Cross of Santo Domingo. It just so happens that Ward Cameron, and his psychopath of a son Rafe, are also looking for it. We’ve seen this song and dance before. Rafe is the one that actually murdered the police officer that John B was framed for by his sweetheart’s dad Ward Cameron. John B and Sarah come back after some excitement. Said excitement, Rafe shoots Sarah, HIS SISTER. Makes our chaotic family reunions look like child’s play. Anyway, the Pogues find the Cross of Santo Domingo and then lose the Cross of santo Domingo. Season two ends with the Pogues in Pogueland, which is essentially a deserted island. Lovely.

Season 3 Recap

Season three, long story short. They try to find treasure again. Ward Cameron shows up. It’s a mess. Long story long, the Pogues are rescued and decide to look for the lost city of gold, El Dorado, the mythical lost city of gold. John B is finally reunited with his long-lost father, Big John, but their joy is short-lived. Remember the wet blanket that is Ward Cameron? He’s there and messed everything up. Shocking. As the Pogues race against time to beat Ward and his team to the treasure, it takes a left turn. Both Big John and Ward lose their lives in a little snafu. In the end, the Pogues secure some of the treasure and return home as heroes, but they’re given Blackbeard’s captain’s log and pulled right back into another adventure when they just should have signed up for football camp. Anything else.

With Season 4 coming soon and a inevitable treasure hunt on the horizon, we’re ready to be hurt again. The Pogues have faced loss, betrayal, and near-death experiences, but their thirst for treasure, survival, and a touch of toxicity keeps them pushing forward. 

There’s no telling what’s next, but two thing’s are for sure: there’s going to be a treasure hunt and a couple of Cameron’s involved.

Review from our community: “We watched Tetris (that is to say, “I” watched Tetris, because my wife fell asleep after 5 minutes and then woke up during the credits and asked “what just happened?”).

Review from our community: “We watched Men in Black with our kids. We enjoy watching movies from our childhood with our four kids, but more often than not, we are caught off guard with the amount of profanity, blasphemy, and innuendo. With VidAngel we were able to enjoy MIB without worrying about what they might hear. They thought it was very funny and we had a great movie night!” – Natalie

“We watched Men in Black 1! My 11yo son wanted to do a movie night for his birthday and we were struggling to find something that all of the kids hadn’t seen already. I texted all the parents and asked if it would be okay if we watch Men in Black on VidAngel and filter out the inappropriate parts. They were all fine with it and the kids loved it!” – Mary

Wednesday

Review from our community: “Wednesday. I’m not afraid to admit that I get nightmares and have a visual memory, so if I see something, it sticks. Even though I knew gorey things were happening, it didn’t have the same effect and I was able to enjoy the show. As far as the show itself: loved it!

I was thankful to have a show that interested both my 13 year old daughter and I.” – Ashley

Review from our community: “I LOVED The Last Kingdom but a lot of parts are not appropriate.

The Glory

Review from our community: “We watched ‘The Glory.’ It was a very intriguing show about a woman out to get revenge on the people who mercilessly bullied her in school. Pretty dark and parts of it were still a little difficult to watch. If I watched it over again, I would probably turn some of the gore filters on, but overall we enjoyed it. It was fun seeing all her planning come together in ways I didn’t expect. 7/10 stars.” – Emily

Poldark

Review from our community: “We watched Poldark. It’s a fun love story with just enough adventure to keep my husband interested too! Not to mention how nice Poldark is to look at, how much you love to hate the Warleggins, or how beautifully Demelza sings. 5 out of 5 stars! Highly Recommend!” – Beth
