I don't have Prime, but I've heard good things about Reacher.
Not keen to watch The Boys myself because I've read the first of the comics and it's not to my taste at all (one of the characters kills a baby in the first couple of pages for example), but other folks might like it. If you do you might enjoy Preacher, which is similar in tone (the creator of The Boys said their aim was to "out Preacher Preacher" ie. do the same thing but more). With Preacher though, the TV adaptation is toned down a bit compared with the comics, although it's still full of some very dark humour, violence etc.
It occurs to me now that there might be confusion with the two shows having similar names (Reacher and Preacher) so to make sure I'm clear, I mean this show:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preacher_(TV_series) Excellent cast. Joseph Gilgun and Ruth Negga really stand out IMO.

It's based on a book series by Lee Child. One of the books was made into a movie (One Shot) starring Tom Cruise.
