If the last episode can maintain the quality of the previous seven, The Boys Season 5 may just be one of the show's best. It has all the gore, dark comedy, action, and vulgarity that you would expect, while also never veering too far out of control ahead of the final hour.

Happily for those fans still interested in this singularly irreverent and bloody show, something feels different this time around. .... For the first time in a long time, The Boys has me unable to look away.

It’s progressively broadened into a take on the entire American project, a mission creep that’s sometimes been a strain yet allows the home stretch — minus the series finale, which was withheld from critics prior to review — to wield some heft.

The shifts they and the series take not only deepen each character arc, but also allow a show that sometimes feels too humorous for its own good to tackle ideas of hero worship and revolutionary acts of violence.

While we’re a bit disappointed in the dark turn The Boys has made as it goes into its final season, we’re looking forward to seeing how Eric Kripke and company bring the story to an end.

With its social allegory eclipsed by the six-o’clock news, then, The Boys loopily stumbles its way through a rather straightforward, logical conclusion.

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.

Fascinatîg how the MAGAs are floodîg the comments with disastrous reviews. Why is that ? Because Homelander’s character depicts how racist, violent, misogynist, narcissist and greedy Trump really is! We all can see how season 5 of The Boys portrays everything that the racist and fascist Trump regime is doing! And it’s time the People rebel against this fascism

Provavelmente a temporada mais fraca e decepcionante. A minha sensação é que correram muito com os últimos EPs por não saberem como finalizar tantas subtramas. Encerraram o principal, porem a maioria das historias ficaram abertas e sem respostas. Diversos personagens estão inconsistentes. As lutas não foram tão legais, a dimensão de poderes dos supers e toda a "ameaça global" do Homelander teve uma escala miseravelmente pequena. Entendo que a serie não é sobre superpoderes, mas explorar tão mal essa vertente desanima grande parte do publico. Tem muita coisa igual a HQ, talvez por isso a falta de surpresas tenham me desanimado. Dito isso: The Boys foi minha série favorita todos esses anos! Acompanhei todas as temporadas no lançamento. Foi uma boa e divertida jornada.

To many flaws for the ending to deserve a 7 out of 10. Its ending was an ending to satisfy the bare minimum. And they expect us to be hyped for whatever garbage they come out with next?

I personally really enjoyed the first 6 episodes, but those last 2 were absolutely dreadful...

This is the first time I've ever posted a review on the internet. One of the biggest disappointments when it comes to series finales. I watched Gen V and the characters were completely useless. Homelander, at the very least, could have had a scene destroying the White House or taken it to the climax by destroying the city. The virus plot took up almost the entire season, but in the end, it wasn't very relevant. What a sad ending and what a disappointment for the fans.
