    BOOM!

    The Boys is back motherf###er; and the ending is just... Holy Crap! It's fantastic and full of surprises, especially with Butcher and Homelander basically commanding the episodes dramatic beats!

    It's already clear that The Boys ain't losing its bite anytime soon if there's still material THIS strong on the horizon.

    It's still full of its satirical criticism of modern American culture, its main characters are embodiments of day-to-day chaos (least of all in superhero worlds like Marvel or DC) and have become one of TV's strongest ensemble casts.

    The Boys ain't losing it yet; and it's sure to stick the landing too.

    Wow!! Every minute of this episode was outstanding! Definitely one of the best episodes yet. Only two episodes into this season and already it's looking like the best!

    The whole speech at the end with Homelander was incredible.

    10/10 from me but critics will probably say otherwise..

    Such a funny, action packed episode and I just can't wait for more!

    That hilarious ending song

    'The Only Man in the Sky' is another excellent episode, advancing the plot without rushing into it. I can't think of many shows that manage to maintain their quality through action and non-action both, with the perfect balance and pacing to boot. The actors deliver their usual top-notch performances; Anthony Starr is a very convincing sociopath, and Karen Fukuhara manages to convey so much emotion with just her expressive face.

    I especially loved the 'generic boy band' ending song with its creepy lyrics; it genuinely made me break out in hysteric laughter. That a show with this much social commentary and criticism of capitalist pop culture is produced by Amazon remains ironic...

    The Only Men in the Sky

    Really loved this one. As some have pointed out, the confrontation between Homelander and Butcher was intense as hell and the parallels are evident and ingenious. It'll be interesting to see how far Butcher takes things this season, and it's scary to think that Homelander could very well go even further than that...

    It seems like Kimiko and Mother's Milk will be getting some development too, which is exciting. Even Hugh is getting a surprisingly compelling arc so far.

    These first two episode have started to establish dark, wonderful things still go come. I'm excited to see what happens.

    Anthony Starr is outstanding

    Anthony Starr is the star of this show. His performance as Homelander is phenomenal and he deserves awards for it. Homelander's story is still the most interesting and the moment where he goes truly insane will be memorable.

    The other character's stories are fine, but slow. I hope we get to see more action in future episodes, but it's promising so far.

    • Trivia
      The license plate on Gunpowder's car - a Dodge Challenger - reads "2A4EVER" which stands for "2nd Amendment Forever".
    • Goofs
      When Gunpowder ricochets the bullet off of the post to hit Butcher, we can clearly see that it is a hollow point projectile. That type of projectile would shatter on impact with the concrete post. In order for a shot like that to be even remotely believable, it would have had to have been a "ball" type projectile, aka, a full metal jacket (fmj) round. To be clear, that type of shot would still be impossible, but it would be slightly more believable had they used ball ammo.
