    There's admittedly a whole lot more to like in this season, but with the trappings of the Boys-verse looming large over this spin-off, those pleasures are fleeting, even expendable.

    Try as it might to elevate its tale’s importance to the level of The Boys, it comes across as a repetitive and charisma-challenged teen-supes saga that’s yet to fully mature.
