The Boys are back in town.
And if you haven't seen episode one, stop what you're doing and hop to it.
Or be warned: spoilers ahead.

It’s been a year of calm. Homelander (Antony Starr) has been subdued. Butcher (Karl Urban) works for the government, supervised by Hughie (Jack Quaid) of all people.
But they're itching to turn this peace and quiet into blood and bone.
And that brings us to that penis scene. The gory one. The toe-curling, squeal-inducing bit that no one actually wanted to witness, but it was bloody stunning.
And the perfect way for The Boys to get back into the swing of things for season three.
It all starts with Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) and Frenchie (Tomer Kapon) sneaking into a house party thrown by Termite (Brett Geddes), a very Ant-Man like 'supe' that can shrink himself down to a teeny-tiny size.
Butcher is watching on from a nearby van thanks to a hidden camera worn by Frenchie.
Anyway, so the party scene starts with an itty-bitty Termite having sex with a doll in a dollhouse while partygoers cheer him on. Weird flex, but you do you, Termite.
They all seem to be doing lots of cocaine and getting wild. And it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt. And someone is about to.
After his weird doll exhibitionism moment, Termite goes into a back room with his lover. Termite and his man continue to do drugs when his lover turns to him.
"I want you inside me," he says, pulling his pants down.
And, dear reader, this is not going where you think it is.
Termite shrinks down to his teeny-tiny size again and climbs inside his lover's penis. Yep, he's going on an adventure all the way up his urethra to have a play from the inside.
According to Entertainment Weekly, filming the scene meant building an actual three-and-a-half metre high, nine metre long prosthetic penis. But we digress.
Termite doesn't make it to his lover's prostate because he sneezes about half way up, thanks to all of that cocaine.
And that's when hot and heavy turns to blood and gore, because when Termite sneezes he loses control and explodes back to full size. And blasts his man apart from the inside.
Boy, oh boy, did Twitter light up after this.
One user said: "Just fifteen minutes into The Boys season three and I am LOVING this absolutely unhinged, chaotic mess. Micro-man getting into a penis is really the best."
A second said: "Have you ever wanted to see a naked man shrink to the size of an ant and enter someone's penis? Well, watch The Boys season three! Was not something I would have expected to see today."
A third was a little queasy over the prospect: "Tried to start The Boys season three tonight but you know what, tonight maybe isn't the night for an exploding penis after all."
And remember - this is just the first 15 minutes.
In this ep we also get a cameo from Charlize Theron, Starlight gets a promotion, and what really happened to Stormfront is revealed.
It's a wild ride, and we can't wait for more.
New episodes of The Boys will drop every Friday on Prime Video.
