The Insider

Miles better than last weeks episode, tying loose ends and progression. This weeks was intriguing and actually fun to watch and thus a great buildup to the final episode "Assassination Run". A catharsis, characters are starting to know where they belong and what they want, moments without confusion overshadowed by cringe. I sense we are creeping towards actual decent closure to what was an unfortunate mediocre season.

This episode had depth and twists, action and gore. It had everything you'd want from The Boys, and i am actually excited for the next installment. "Low budget fight scenes" another reviewer was talking about, i sort of agree they could have been better but from what we've seen this Season this was actually not that bad. A well needed episode.

New players in town, the skin changer sup had a lot of Supernatural vibes.

It's amazing how good these episodes are when they don't focus on shock gore and disgusting bs and instead focus on the story. That's literally all there is to it. I'm sad this season is coming to an end because it had so much potential, this episode along with episode 4 proves it. This is what we were missing the entire season. Good action, compelling plot, and huge developments. Honestly, this could be a top 5 episode for the entire series. Writers set up an insane finale, let's just hope they can bring it home and give us a great finale that we've all been waiting for. Hopefully Kripke learns from Season 4's criticisms and delivers an amazing season 5.

I'm quite disappointed that the boys season 4 only has 2 good episodes while the rest of the episodes are just bland and average, the show has always relied on shock value with the brutal deaths and moments but season 4 of the boys has more shock value then storytelling out the the first three seasons which is pretty bad if we want the show to be one of the greatest written TV shows of this generation but unfortunately the boys producers are not aiming for that. This season had been the most mediocre and is the worst season of the boys, the last episode of season 4 of the boys won't save how bad the overall season was.

Season 4 of "The Boys" continues to push the boundaries of the superhero genre with its trademark blend of dark humor, intense action, and biting satire. The show remains unflinchingly bold, diving deeper into the complexities of its characters while maintaining the high-octane thrills that fans expect.

This season, the stakes are higher than ever. The Boys, led by Billy Butcher, are more determined to bring down Vought International and the corrupt Supes. The introduction of new characters adds fresh dynamics to the ensemble cast, with each new face bringing their own brand of chaos and intrigue. The performances are consistently strong, with standout moments from Karl Urban and Antony Starr, whose portrayals of Butcher and Homelander continue to anchor the series with their intensity and nuance.

The writing in Season 4 is sharp, weaving in relevant social commentary without feeling heavy-handed. Themes of power, corruption, and the blurred lines between heroism and villainy are explored in compelling ways. The show also doesn't shy away from graphic violence and dark humor, which remain integral to its identity.

Visually, the series is impressive, with high production values evident in the detailed set pieces and special effects. The action sequences are particularly noteworthy, offering inventive and often shocking moments that keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

However, the season isn't without its flaws. Some plot points feel a bit rushed, and there are moments where the sheer amount of content threatens to overwhelm the narrative. Despite these minor issues, Season 4 of "The Boys" is a thrilling ride that continues to defy expectations and challenge the conventions of the superhero genre.

Overall, this season is a must-watch for fans of the series and anyone looking for a darker, more cynical take on the world of superheroes. It balances character development, social critique, and spectacular action in a way that few shows can, cementing its place as one of the most provocative series on television.

I liked the main battle today, The Deep and new Black Noir actions were great.

MM rocks even with panic attack.

Frenchie and Kimiko bond again.

Butcher is the best character of this show. Probably the best actor too.

Homelander is still most frightening character on television. Hands down for his acting too.

Vicky didn't pop heads today.

Hughie is kind of sweet but most importantly finally we saw Starlight naked.

I liked the twist at the end, I predicted that during this episode. I saw that coming.

I still miss Queen Maeve.

Firecracker and Sage are somehow sexy.

-Overall very nice episode, tension is build up for season's finale.

My predictions for eight episode are that A-Train will be killed off by Homelander himself, I see something like speeding battle in slow-motion. If anyone could match A-Train speed, that is Homelander. It will be something brilliant.

A-Train is very likable character lately, and the actor is awesome.

Bonus, I thing that Ashley will stay alive for next season, also Butcher will find a way to tag along.
