The Female of the Species

Still enjoying this show. So far, this episode has been the goriest and still looks great by the way.

We also see more of the evil of certain Supes and just the plain casual disregard of the effect of their actions on normal people (for example, the plane scene).

We are also introduced to a mysterious new character, which I am very interested to see who or what she is.

Stellar. I was thoroughly entertained. I would really like to see more action. I think that's what i have been missing. It's a lot of talking. The psychotic nature of the lead superhero is unfolding. We get to know more about Frenchie. I think Starlight is a bit boring to me but i do appreciate that there is someone normal in the series.

With episode four, Amazon superhero series The Boys continues in seriously twisted mode, caped crimefighter Homelander (Antony Starr) proving just how corrupt and callous he really is when a rescue mission on a high-jacked passenger plane goes seriously wrong. Back on land, Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) and his cohorts raid an enemy stronghold where they discover a mysterious and very violent young woman being held captive.

The botched plane rescue is this episode's undeniable highlight: it's great to see just how unfeeling and self-serving Homelander can be, and Starr gives another great performance. Dominique McElligott, as his conflicted companion Queen Maeve, is also very good. My only minor complaint about this episode is the bowling alley date for Hughie (Jack Quaid) and Starlight (Erin Moriarty): it's necessary so that Hughie can bug Starlight's phone, but seems a touch too drawn-out and sedate compared with the show's more outrageous, fast-paced content.

7.5/10, rounded up to 8 for IMDb.

This episode is weaker than the other's, but it's still pretty good. It develops the story arc quite well by exploring the downsides to being a part of Butchers vigilante group, and that is the lack of freedom, aswell as the questionable moral decisions.

From the fight sequence to the inspirational pep talk, everything is awesome. Homelander's presence gives the chills, specially that airplane sequence. Chemistry between the leads is good.
