The Insider

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.

They did a prefect setup for the finale Ik what happens unfortunately due to leaks(don't worry I'm not saying anything) but the way the played butcher and the boys this episode was a great representation of what's to come. I think they did wonderful with the relationship of MM and A-Train it really showed they care for the wellbeing of eachother and themselves at the same time and the amount of respect they have for one another. My only criticism(very very small) was the pace it could have been faster in some areas but it rly didn't affect the story of this episode. Overall a top 5-7 episode of the show and genuinely tired of these review bombs simply because some conservatives don't like the way their views are portrayed. Finnaly Keep this up Amazon!

God, the show is getting incredibly boring this season.

The dialogues and most characters, including but not limited to Frenchie, Starlight, and Kimiko are especially annoying this season, and honestly the only thing that keeps me going are Butcher and Homelander.

It's almost like they decided to take all the disgusting/cringe scenes to the next level, which is fine, but completely forget about what made the boys unique, which is the feeling of being unsafe in a world full of supes...

For some reason it feels like none of the creators of the show take anything seriously anymore, and it's all just a joke to them.

I wish they focused more on what the audience cares about, not what they care about.

Definitely an improvement over last week's waste of an episode, but the pacing of this season is still just a train wreck. Anyone calling this the best episode ever I think has been swayed by how abysmal the ones preceding it were. This show would really benefit from a shorter running time per episode. Currently, each one being an hour plus leaves so much filler clogging up the show, which makes the few plot-relevant scenes feel few and far between.

I really think if each episode was brought down to 45 minutes the writers would be forced to make tighter scripts that flow better, that would make them focus on the aspects that actually matter.

This season is the textbook example of all sizzle and no steak.

ONE WORD, SPEECHLESS.

I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING.

NOT GONNA SPOIL ANYTHING BUT MY GOD WE SAW THE SCARIEST SIDE OF HOMELANDER.

THE BOYS AT ITS PEAK.

WHAT A BUILD, FELT LIKE A SEASON FINALE.

You will be on the edge of your seats, your jaws are gonna drop, the dialogues, screenplay, story telling, you will not be able to predict what's coming.

If anyone disagrees with me they're probably crybabies who don't know the show that well.

Every second of homelander was top notch and just frightening at the same time.

This was the episode THIS IS IT, THIS IS WHERE YOU SEE CINEMA IN A TV SHOW. END.
