Dirty Business

This show has gotten too gross for me. This episode reached a new level of gross, not only has it been really gory the past couple episodes but they've been putting in a lot more sexual stuff that I would just rather not see. Half this episode felt like filler and the other half with neuman/sages scheme and butcher was pretty decent. But like i've seen some others say, this episode feels like it's something you'd see earlier on in the season, not on episode 6. I really hope the next couple episodes bring some action, and supe on supe conflict. It definitely has less action than season 3 and probably less than 2, would prefer some more substance over shock value. (I will say though i'm glad frenchie wasn't in the episode)

This episode was pretty much above average, it had some cool things going on but it does not feel like theres 2 episodes left for this season.

This feels like something that should happen in episode 2-3.

Most of the scenes were pretty weird (which makes me not surprised) but it something that should have been done a little earlier.

Overall this season is pretty boring because it does not have a main goal or anything. All the previous seasons had a goal to achieve.

I expected a little more to come out of this episode, but it feels like the season only started but we only have 2 episodes left.

Maybe this is good for season 5 but season 4 feels more like a build up.

I get that The Boys has always had weird sexual scenes going as far back as Season 1 but holy moly i have never felt so cringed out and the annoying thing is it took up a lot of the episode's runtime. Where was it leading, what was it supposed to mean? I'm really finding it hard to grasp anymore interest for this show but because it has likeable characters i've still a little bit of trust. I really hope it turns around and gives us a decent ending.

The 4th episode "Wisdom of the Ages" made me excited and felt like the Season was actually leading somewhere. All we've had around that episode is bloated filler sub plots with paper thin development. After the last scene in this episode 6 "Dirty Business" i can say i am interested in what will happen next for Butcher. Although it seems like the writers are slowly throwing this show into the pit.

Those who write reviews extremely early giving the episode a 10/10 just don't seem believable, have they even watched it? Do they even consider any clarity, do they think this episode is really that good? I know we are all entitled to an opinion but this was one of the weakest episodes of The Boys i've ever watched. The story barely moves forward.

This episode continues the trend where our main characters just do whatever they want and no repercussions ever exist. The Supes apparently dont use their powers ever and are stupid, unless the writers want them not to be for a particular scene.

I feel that this season in particular just has no concrete purpose of existing, after they changed many plotline from the comic, they appear to have no clear way to approach the endgame of the show. Plotlines get abandoned, have very low payoff, often make no sense, and there are a ton of cliches that are employed to serve the rest. Very dissapointing to see where the show is headed, as there are no stakes anymore.

Love this show but but it absolutely has a major problem with pacing. Seasons 1 and 2 are full of hilarious satire of American politics, the entertainment industry, and the superhero genre, and lots of gore. BUT at the core is still a compelling enough plot that keeps moving forward.

The problem that started showing it's head in Season 3 was that there wasn't enough story to go along with the commentary and violence, and now in Season 4 it's much worse. 90% of this episode is just shock value, making you fear what's gonna happen but the show's main characters have such indestructible plot armor that you know they're never actually in any danger. So instead it's an hour of just, nothing? So far Season 4 feels like 2 or 3 episodes of content being stretched to 8.
