The Big Ride

Season 1 was great and I love the first episode . Homeland is as ruthless as he is but later found that he is not most valuable assest in vought. Starlight and hughie partnership continues. Deep is still so messed up. Overall episode was little bit slow but acceptable as now daddy is home.

3.5 out of 5 stars.

The Boys 2 is back. Continuing where it left off. Little weirder. But a lot of fun. This first episode does feel a little slow moving.

The scene in the metro with Hughie and Annie; not the best acting ever but right up there at least. The subtlety of the facial expressions, combined with authentic dialogue. It's amazing really, how wildly superior this is to most of the absolute garbage I've seen recently. Almost as if I forgot what a good production looks like, but maybe that's the goal of this flood of mediocrity.

The comical, gruesome violence works really well for me but that might be a personal. I just keep laughing out loud whenever someone explodes like a watermelon.

Plot wise. Well, it's the first episode of a new season. The set ups for the main and sub plots are intriguing and we've yet to see if they're gonna pay off satisfactorily.

The direction/cinematography is nothing new or spectacular but it serves its purpose at least.

I wasn't a big fan of the hughie and starlight drama or the boys focused drama in season 1 and it remains. Ep has many highlights from two new supers shown in a hilarious way, Homelander losing it, and clever writing.

The perfect way to re-introduce us to the world of The Boys. We get great music, some action but more importantly a reminder of the situation that the protagonists are in.
