'view something serious' vs 'view something seriously'

Hi everyone! So I was trying to rephrase the sentence "Detention is viewed as more serious for boys than for girls".But I don't know which one of the following is correct: "Boys view detention more serious than girls do" vs "Boys view detention more seriously than girls do" vs "Boys view detention as more serious than girls do".
Any help would be appreciated.

The second one -"boys view detention more seriously than girls do" is correct and appropriate to use.

The word " serious" wouldn't make any sense here. We, here, need an adverb to modify the verb " view" which the adverb "seriously" is doing perfectly.
