Though it remains as timely as ever, The Boys’ endgame does take its time putting the pieces in place for the final showdown with Homelander — for both better and worse.
-
There’s certainly still plenty of signature blood-soaked carnage and shocking moments (particularly in one cameo-heavy sequence), but overall it feels more sombre than satisfying.

The Boys, unfortunately, doesn’t have anything new to say. It’s trying too hard to speak to the times, but having a scene in which Homelander talks about making this a god-fearing, safer nation again, to be met with chants of “USA! USA!” has no depth. I hope a proper map has been drawn for the show’s conclusion, but the meandering twofer of a premiere ebbs and flows in quality.
