    No season has fully cohered, including the third outing that debuted Friday, which feels a tad too earnest for its own good.

    “The Boys” has grown up a bit, but it’s also grown outward, to the point where it becomes nearly impossible to truly keep track of its expansive cast of characters and the myriad politicking they have to navigate. ... “The Boys” is A Lot to take in, and the surface-level cracks in the façade of its superhero and social critiques become ever more visible.

    “The Boys” is consistently entertaining, but it could be so much stronger. For the first time, it almost seems scared to really unleash its true power.

    These eight episodes are easy to watch but easy to forget, and the satirical identity The Boys once had gets lost under the viscera, semen, radioactive waste, and neon-green vomit coating this season’s uneven subplots.

The problem is that it happily partakes in the same thing it claims to satirize. Couple this with scenes of little value other than shock with lazy and predictable writing and you get The Boys. The very definition of mediocre. Why people are falling over themselves to praise this show is baffling, assuming that the praise is genuine.… Full Review »
