We'll Keep the Red Flag Flying Here

The first two episodes were a little random, branching off towards sub plots instead of staying on point. Entertainment over substance, yes the CGI is getting better but we needed more plot and development. Not that i disliked those episodes but they weren't the best, it was like they wanted us to care for characters without much context. Theatrics and cameos became the distraction this time.

This third episode was a little more back on track with the main story. Scenes were more centralised and tension seemed more real. I cared again for characters and conversations had meaning. Though it wasn't the best, the show still needs work but this episode gave me high hopes again. It was a good episode.

(Shortened summary in the bottom of the review)

This episode does just enough to actually make me care again about the characters and actually wanting to see where the season is going now that we finally have real episode on our hands.

Its also nice to see Billy actually trying to make things right between him and Ryan, while also trying to save Ryan from losing his humanity.

I also gotta say, holy... how is it nice to have Jeffery Dean Morgan in the show, one of my favorite big time small screen actors!!!

(7/10) I really hope that they keep this going.

Shortened summary: 3rd EP does a good job at slowly redeeming this season for its atrocious first 2 EP´s in giving us this compelling episode that sees Billy trying to make things right between him & Ryan.

Quite frankly, the strongest episode of this season. Could have been more crisp with the writing. The whole thing with Butcher is a bit more concerning as it is badly written. The Boys aren't doing any better from last season. I wish the plot develops more. It's quite hard to keep watching this season as it's just doing nothing to satisfy the initial seasons. The frenchie plot seems to be abruptly cut - the butcher plot is good, convincing - I wish soldier boy comes back, he was entertaining. I don't know how it did. The writing has dipped way more than the expectations. I am being way generous with the ratings, but, writing team. Please get it better. We need more of The Boys.

This episode is among the best episodes I've seen in recent years, Hughie gets more layered this episodes which was great to see. Homelander's bond with his son is showing another side to him, he now has to choose between being a good father or being Homelander and the internal conflict he's currently experiencing will be fascinating to watch develop in the rest of the season. This show just really gets better and better. Butcher's mission to keep Ryan on the good side as his last deed before dying is greatly written. What will happen next? What role will queen Maeve play in the rest of the season? What about soldier boy? I guess we will have to wait and see!

I felt there was barely any progress to the story in these 3 episodes , must say im rather dissapointed after waiting for so long. Sure there are a couple of new interesting characters such as sister sage , will be interesting to see her development with Homalander. I cant help but to root for Homelander at this point , he is by far the most interesting character, Huey and his friends are just kind of annyoing and boring, especially MM I dont understand how he gets so much screentime like what the actual F?? And what in the world happened to Starlights face? Its unnerving to look at her now. Hoping for some better storytelling in the upcoming episodes , cause these ones felt like nothing but filler episodes. And can we ditch the Ryan/Homelander drama? Its so obvious where its leading , its a book ive read a 1000 times over now and its getting old , he goes from loving his dad and then to hate im in the next episode , just pick a team and stick with it.
