Wisdom of the Ages

After a somewhat slow start to the season, the boys picks up with one of the best episodes to date. Nearly every character is given their own time to shine, each in their own unique plot lines. Even though the show is splitting its attention between nearly 15 characters, the pacing is absolutely immaculate! Nothing feels rushed whatsoever, and the episode is not afraid to take its time for certain scenes. Every plotline is simply fantastic this episode. Homelander has one of his best episodes ever, Butcher is excellent as always, Hughie and Kimiko have an amazing team up, Starlight and Firecracker's beef escalates to an insane degree, Frenchie has an excellent conclusion to his plotline this season, and even characters like Ashley, A-Train, and the Deep get their time to shine. The episode is also filled with absolutely wild twists in it that could potentially change everything for the boys. It is absolutely an episode that will keep you glued to your seat. Diabolical!

The earlier episodes of the season were.... lets say a little stale at best. It was worth it. Absolutely. This is the best episode of the season so far, and it might even be one of the greatest in the entire series. I hope the future of the series and this season will continue on as great as it always has. Homelander was stunning this episode. It was extremely well acted and the writing was excellent. I can surely say i absolutely enjoyed this episode and im hopeful for what is to come next. I will however say that while it is awesome, I hope that the future can be better, for the series and for the show.

The tension wow Antony Starr has to be one of the most incredible actors I have ever seen. Regardless if you like the episode or even the show you can't deny it. Every time Homelander is on the screen automatically you become nervous because you genuinely don't know what he's going to do. The ability for him to shift tones from being playful to serious to evil is unbelievable. I love even the side plots with Hughie, A train, Butcher and starlight. I think the frenchie plot is alright I do think there's a bit too much going on right now and out of all the plots I think it's the most unnecessary, however it still is good. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is because there has been better episodes on the Boys but the episode was amazing!

This is the episode we needed. By far the best episode of the season and perhaps among the best of the whole series. The episode contains very chilling scenes which bring back "The Boys" vibe compared to the prior three episodes. Also, we get to know much more about Homelander's origin and how he was tortured in Vought's laboratory. Furthermore, we also learn more about Starlight's backstory from Firecracker. I cannot wait to watch the rest of the series as it looks very promising now, which I have not felt with the earlier episodes. Brace yourself for a much darker episode and a very chilling Homelander.

Hard to put into words how good a TV show is when it reaches that pivotal moment when all comes together to make for a truly ecstatic moment of TV. This episode not only had it all but was able to push the storytelling and deliver so many satisfying moments while keeping us truly on the edge of our seats. So gratifying to see writers who have just got everything right and gave the whole cast moments where each get to shine and leave us heartbroken.

The atmosphere shifted so many times from the intimate to the spectacle, there isn't a scene to waste. Awesomely inspired.

Well done and thank you!!!
