The Boys - Série 4

The Boys has managed to maintain the quality for the fourth time. Although there is no significant villain and Homelander is again carrying it (well, it's easily noticeable when he's not on the scene at all). The characters, however, are still interesting, and when it comes to the gore it's a really effective delight, and they've added quite a bit to the perversion, which I applaud. The flying sheep and chickens were the best, that was a really brilliant idea. The ending is shaping up to be pretty big stuff, the connection to Gen V will be nice and the finale of season 5 will be a properly epic slaughter with probably a lot of dead on both sides too. 8/10.

After the attack on Trump and Biden’s Covid, Homelander's electoral travails may seem petty to us, yet The Boys has hit the current political mood perfectly. Unfortunately, Kripke commissioned the scripts during the strike (I can't explain it any other way), and the quality of the early episodes looks accordingly. Weird dialogue, bumbling heroes, uninteresting subplots. The crappy line Frenchie, completely disconnected from everything and leading to nowhere, the downright annoying Mother's Milk acting like an asshole, and the relegated Billy, who they're probably saving for last. So it's up to Homelander and his bloodbath to save the day. Antony Starr is fantastic in the role and I'm looking forward to the final clash from the bottom of my heart. The fourth season was pretty much a bust though, except for the very last episode. (07/18/2024)
