It's been a year of calm. Homelander's subdued. Butcher works for the government, supervised by Hughie of all people. But both men itch to turn this peace and quiet into blood and bone. So when The Boys learn of a mysterious Anti-Supe weapon, it sends them crashing into the Seven, starting a war, and chasing the legend of the first Superhero: Soldier Boy.

When you think about it, The Boys is the last purely comic book series to maintain its brutality while achieving mainstream success. And despite the extreme violence, it observes LGBT+Q standards, be it the homosexual Ant-Man sneezing on somebody’s dick or the heroic Maeve, fighting against the evil white man. Even so, these excesses don’t come across cheap and are wrapped in an intelligent story that makes sense and holds up a mirror and mainly it’s peppered with quality one-liners. The unexpected ace of the series is Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy. The variation on Captain America turns into an unexpectedly complex character in the end and his scenes are some of the best of the movie. The ending is slightly cheap, but doesn’t spoil the overall good impression the series gives. So far, the best show this year.

This is just total pleasure for us fans of hard-hitting superhero series who are tired of today's declining Marvel. Because The Boys is an incredibly brutal ride full of perfect characters, bad guys, action, plot and just about everything. An unbeatable 3rd season and an absolutely flawless affair that I could watch for days.

I really wanted to give it five stars, but it was missing just a little something. But let's start with the positives.... It seems to me that the creators want to shock the audience more and more with each new season. In the third season, we again get absolutely wild, but legendary scenes (shoutout to the whole of episode number 6 with the subtitle Herogasm). The acting is again top-notch; Butcher has raised the bar even higher because the whole plot revolving around the "V" hooked me like hardly anything else. Homelander is once again unbeatable; that guy was truly born for this role! Otherwise, with the arrival of Soldier Boy, it felt like the series was refreshed with new energy; Jensen Ackles nailed it like a top professional! On the action front, the series once again went off the rails, with top-notch gore and pleasantly over-the-top brutality :D So why not a full score? Honestly, I was expecting a bolder ride with the killing off of main characters (everything was pointing in that direction). It seemed to me that Kripke and Goldberg just opened the figurative gate to the upcoming fourth season. What a pity. Even so, it's a show that leaves recent Marvel productions in the dust. 8.5/10

Comic book fuck! Amazon's big phenomenon presents itself with a 3rd season, and as expected, it's brutal, twisted, perverse, but also smart, emotional, wacky, and damn funny. The new season brings a number of interesting surprises where the cards are shuffled brilliantly and the whole thing paces from start to finish with no significant deaf spots, though I still have minor reservations that make me unable to go for the full rating. Once again, stealing the whole show for himself is Anthony Starr, aka Homelander, who seems to have been born for this role, a wonderful prototype of a cold psychopathic bastard who has no mercy, but for the first time in the series he gets scared and it's quite a sight to behold. Alongside Homelander, Butcher also classically excels, and for the first time in the series he also becomes a full-fledged rival to his arch nemesis. Of the other characters, I enjoy Starlight and Kimiko, who provides some decent action. Of the new characters, Soldier Boy is worth mentioning, he has an interesting development and an interesting denouement. There could have been more action, but once it comes to the meat-grinding, it's incredible, R-rating driven, pushing the boundaries far beyond other TV series. The very opening gay gore scene will definitely stick in my memory for quite some time, but there are plenty of nasty and juicy deaths throughout the series as well, where a gore fan is bound to get downright creeped out. There were a few unexpected character deaths and few plot twists, making The Boys the best R-rated comic-book adaptation ever for the third time. My one criticism is the fact that it doesn't make full use of the potential of the individual superheroes. The Seven are pretty haphazard and they should change – A-Train and Deep are downright useless, Black Noir has minimal space again, and Maeve doesn't get much time here either. I wouldn't be at all upset with the recruitment of new heroes with new abilities and interesting characters, maybe something like Stormfront, which revitalized the 2nd season nicely. So we'll see next time, but satisfaction definitely prevails and no one should miss The Boys. 8.5/10.

Yeah, uh, okay. Once you start apologizing too often, the characters start making confusing decisions too often and are too often given roles/abilities that are out of character or there are too many situations like "Gee, I have to get rid of him, but I can't because I’d end up getting rid of someone else, so I have to get rid of still another person...but I just can't", then you know you're starting to run around in circles, and by the end of Season 3 it's sad to say that we've gotten nowhere. The characters are severely underused, be it The Seven or even Soldier Boy himself, and I didn't enjoy any of them, quite the opposite. I fear that too much melodrama will lead to too many seasons.
