The Boys Season 5 finale was a huge disappointment and a weak way to end the series. The episode felt extremely rushed. Major storylines were wrapped up in the most unsatisfying ways, especially Ryan randomly losing his powers despite being a natural-born Supe — that made zero sense and came completely out of nowhere. Erin’s performance was honestly horrendous and painful to watch in several scenes. Homelander was by far the best character this season and absolutely carried the show. Butcher was a distant second. Soldier Boy was great whenever he showed up, but he deserved way more screen time. One of the most frustrating things was the marketing. They dropped multiple badass posters this season hyping up insane chaos and massive payoffs, yet almost none of it actually happened. The hype was completely misleading. Too many characters felt underutilized, several resolutions felt cheap, and the whole season suffered from bad pacing and filler. After all these years, The Boys deserved a much stronger ending than this. Everything had to be a political jab and could never just be about the story. Eric Kripke should never be a showrunner again. Terrible.

I loved this show from start to finish—9/10 is where it lands for me. The writing, the Montana visuals, the raw family stakes, the way it made you feel every inch of that ranch… it’s one of the best things on TV in the last decade. Kevin Costner as John Dutton was the absolute heart and soul. When he left, the show lost its center of gravity. You could feel the difference in the final stretch—his commanding presence was irreplaceable, and it stung. The ending was still amazing though. Handing the ranch back to Rainwater to protect it forever, Beth and Rip getting their quiet life away from the fight, Kayce finally free of the weight—it felt poetic and earned. I was genuinely moved. A few key plot points never came to light, and that’s my biggest disappointment: John’s murder investigation just fades away, Jamie’s full backstory and what he did to Beth never gets the real emotional payoff it deserved, Lloyd vanishes without a goodbye. Those loose ends left things feeling a little unfinished. But the characters carried it so far:- Kayce was amazing—quiet strength, always trying to do right while dealing with Monica and all her issues. He grew so much over the seasons. Monica’s actress was good, but her character was honestly an issue for the first four seasons—too much conflict and dragging things down. Beth was great overall, fierce and unforgettable, but at times she got a bit over the top—pushing into caricature territory. Rip was one of the best-developed characters on the show. Loyal, brutal when he had to be, deeply in love with Beth, and just quietly badass. Perfect arc. The bunkhouse cowboys all had real personality—Teeter, Ryan, Colby, Lloyd, even Walker. They felt like a real crew with their own quirks and bonds. Jimmy… well, Jimmy ****. The whole “send him to Texas to grow” storyline never really landed for me. He felt like comic relief that overstayed its welcome. Still, the highs were sky-high. The ranch fights, the family tension, the horseback scenes at sunrise, Beth going scorched-earth, Rip’s devotion—it all added up to something I’ll rewatch forever. Costner leaving hurt it, some threads got dropped, but the core stayed strong. 9/10. Highly recommend if you love character-driven Western drama with real emotional stakes. Just know the final season feels different without John, and brace for a few unresolved pieces.

As a huge fan of the original Suits, I went in with high expectations (and maybe a bit of skepticism), but honestly, this spinoff surprised me in the best way. It doesn't try to be a carbon copy of the OG series, and that's exactly why it works for me. Stephen Amell as Ted Black is the standout here—he nails that confident, sharp, no-nonsense lawyer energy that echoes Harvey Specter without feeling like a cheap imitation. Ted's got his own baggage (the flashbacks to his NY prosecutor days and the bomb incident add real depth and stakes), and Amell brings a grounded intensity that's perfect for the darker, more personal tone of the show. He's magnetic on screen, carrying the episodes with charisma and vulnerability when it counts. If you're drawn to Amell like I am (post-Arrow and Heels), this is him in his element—tailored suits, quick wit, and moral gray areas that make you root for him even when he's bending rules. The plot is what hooked me most. It dives into Hollywood entertainment law—celebrity scandals, high-stakes deals, mergers gone wrong—with the same fast-paced, twisty case-of-the-week structure as the original, but it feels fresh in LA. There are genuine surprises (that first-episode twist had me pausing to process), layered mysteries from Ted's past, and ensemble dynamics that build nicely over time. The firm drama, rivalries, and personal betrayals keep the momentum going, and it ramps up in the back half with some emotional payoffs that hit harder than I expected. Gabriel Macht's Harvey cameo was a nice nod without overshadowing the new story. Sure, it doesn't have the same breezy banter or effortless cool of early Suits seasons—it's moodier, more serialized, and the humor is drier—but that's not a flaw for me; it's a deliberate shift that fits the West Coast vibe and Ted's character. The supporting cast (Lex Scott Davis, Bryan Greenberg, Josh McDermitt) grows on you, and the writing from Aaron Korsh keeps that signature legal maneuvering sharp. Compared to the original, it's not as instantly addictive or quotable, but it stands on its own as a solid legal drama with heart, intrigue, and a lead who carries it effortlessly. For fans of the OG who want more of that world without a straight retread, this delivers. I binged it and wished it had gotten a second season—definitely worth watching if you're into Amell or the Suits formula. 8/10, strong recommend. I just wished this show was given the chance to continue on instead of being cancelled.

0/10. Absolute garbage. I forced myself through the first few episodes, and it's easily the worst thing to ever wear the Star Trek name. This isn't Trek; it's a CW teen soap opera slapped with a Starfleet logo and some half-hearted phaser effects. The plot is a mess of contrived "coming-of-age" drama that feels like it was written by someone who skimmed a Wikipedia page on Star Trek and decided the only interesting part was "young people with feelings."The cadets are unbearable—cardboard cutouts of archetypes: the "rebellious one," the "genius outsider," the "perfect golden child," all spouting dialogue that's painfully on-the-nose and cringeworthy. Their "conflicts" are petty high-school nonsense dressed up as interstellar stakes, like rivalries over who gets to pilot the simulator or who kissed who in the dorms. Where's the exploration? The wonder? The moral dilemmas that actually challenge you? Nowhere. Instead, we get endless therapy-speak monologues about "identity" and "belonging" that grind the pacing to a **** villains? Paul Giamatti as some shadowy antagonist feels like a desperate casting grab—his performance is phoned in, and the threat he represents is vague and unconvincing. The show tries to tie into post-Burn lore or whatever, but it mangles it so badly that longtime fans are left rolling their eyes. Holly Hunter as the chancellor is wasted on lines that sound like they were generated by an AI trying to sound inspirational.Visually, it's flat and cheap-looking for a modern Paramount+ show—lighting is harsh and artificial, sets feel small and recycled, and the "action" sequences are laughable. No sense of scale, no awe-inspiring sci-fi wonder. It's all close-ups of angsty faces and awkward teen romance.This series doesn't respect what made Star Trek great: optimism through intellect, ethical exploration, diverse crews solving problems with science and principle. Instead, it's cynical slop that panders to the lowest common denominator while pretending to be "bold" and "inclusive." It's not aspirational; it's insulting. If this is the future of Star Trek, the franchise deserves to be put out of its misery.I hated every second. 0 out of 10. Wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy.

as someone who has read all the books, and played all the games, this is the biggest pile of trash I could have ever imagined. Geralt does not show emotions, this is thoroughly described throughout the books that his emotions were lost due to the grass trials. Yennifer does not wheel a sword… literally ever. And Ciri is not an immediate bad ass. She goes through very many ups and downs and eventually she does become a bad ass, but it is not so instantaneous and with little trials to overcome as the show shows it to be. The only reason I gave this show a 2, was because I feel like Liam Hemsworth was dealt a very bad hand here. I think he’s a good actor and I think he deserve better. With that being said, I think that most of the actors that are cast here are very decent actors, but the writers and showrunner should be fired and should never be allowed to write anything ever again.
