I mean, like, did they change writers halfway through the episode? The detective character could have been immense and a very interesting story for a bunch of episodes and this lazy writing about "his proclivity" was like wha... why? Writers, why? Marie confesses because he pushes her and now it's all useless because he's been blackmailed for his holes fetish. Seriously, that was just embarrassing.
I am still struggling to find a villain in this story that can match the overwhelming power of Homelander, which is one of the most awesome things about The Boys, that the powerless go against this God-like unbeatable figure. Instead, they have a group of people that have identity conflicts with a dead friend that is the detonator for them to uncover the whole research facility thing, end of the story. That's just bloody flat. The detective could have made things really complicated for the heroes and now he's just gone. Four episodes into the show and I just don't know where they are going now. For all I see, there is a secret lab that isn't so secret and they have killed all the stakes so... what are they doing next?
