I am so hooked, incredible. The show keeps getting better and better Every single charackter is interesting, the coices they make feel organic, the drama isn't forced.

Season 2 bored me in the beginning but season 3 has been so good till now.

The show is unpredictable, the writing and dialouges are great and everybody puts in an incredible performance.

I really can see the Boys in my Top 5 Tv Series of all time if it keeps up the momentum.

The Episode is a strong 9 in my opinion.

This episode was so well made, characters, plot, suspense, intensity. It just worked so well. You both do and don't want to root for certain characters and it's just so well done.

Such an amazing episode. It got me good from the begining. All the tortures SoldierBoy has been through for 30 years. He has a right to take down all his team members. We were suppoesed to hate SB but after what happened to him i just feel sorry for him. And Jensen did a great job. He made SB a character you love and afraid of him at the same time.

Season 3's quality overall has been ridiculously high and yet it's this quieter episode that is probably the best of the season and maybe the entire season. What the Boys does better than most other shows is it's characterization. Practically all of the characters are perfectly cast; the various relationships and underlying motivations between them are always understandable if not agreeable. The show gets attention for its "shock" value & pushing the boundaries of what's acceptable but none of that would matter without the exceptional writing and acting that accompanies each episode.

Those spamming the reviews with "woke" & "lefty" criticism are just absolutely missing the point. Like Game of Thrones before it, The Boys characters and plot thrives on the fact that all the characters are fallible. This episode drives that home with some character choices that may have long lasting repercussions and genuinely heart wrenching advancements.

The whole theme of "how far do you go?" Which has been there since season 1 is laid out in simple choices. But it's the relationships those choices will change that is the power of this episode. The power comes from the writing and the characters whose journey we've shared - allowing the series to provide situations where you agree with every point of view even though they reside on the opposite sides of the line. It's wonderful writing, acting and TV.

Not since Thrones has a show provided such an ensemble with such character development. Like Thrones, the result is you give a damn about those characters - whether good, bad or something in between.

Yes, there's obvious political parallels - but I don't see it as the left being treated any better than the right and that's the point of the satire. In fact, watching some of the more obvious mirrors of recent events makes it even more absurd when it you remember some of the conspiracy theories were really claimed in the world we live in.

Take away the powered individuals and it's a reflection of our media sponsored current existence. Some of us may not like it or agree with it but that probably says more about you than it does the show. If that's you, try looking at how it's portraying the other "side" once in a while. There's no shining lights here, or actual heroes. Even Starlight, the supposedly "honorable" one is lying to the masses and enhancing the lie.

Wonderful show. And this episode nails everything that is great about it.

All I can say is holy hell! Ackles knocks it out of the park. Urban and Ackles, powerful chemistry. Wait for the next episode this is turning out to be one of the most exciting seasons of the boys.

I will say, one of the best things about this all is finding out how much of a snowflake the right turn into when truth and satire are written exceptionally (which, spoiler-all comics are a commentary on politics and"civil" society) it really, really piss off the conservatives and gets them all angry. Hilarious. Great bonus from a great show.

I'm not talking about the show, but some of the comments on here.sure the show has a political motif, but happily IMHO it says every side is a fanatic. So I'm cool with it. No one in the series is sane with the exception of Starlight. So I'm cool with that. As far as the shock value of envelop pushing, I don't care one way or the other. It probably ads texture to the series, and some people may like it, but if it doesn't help out the plot or ad to the story, it's just fluff, nothing more nothing less.again (MHO). I like the show because of the characters, story, acting and it's really entertaining.

BTW, I am a conservative who really has no problem with this show. If I did I wouldn't watch it, but bringing politics in when everyone or a lot of us just needs a place to leave politics behind, and enjoy a good program isn't too much to ask for is it?

Only myself to blame I suppose, I made the error of being curious of other peoples insight to the show.

The show keeps getting better! There are so many great characters in this show. It's impossible to choose which side to root for. Homelander, Soldier Boy and Butcher are great! They are all bad men, but their characters are just too cool and compelling you can't wait to see more.

The first four episodes of this season have been great, but the story is starting to get a little thinner than I thought it would.

I have no idea how Homelander keeps getting more and more unchecked power in a shady stockholding multinational conglomerate, especially when he's a product of that said conglomerate.

From the end of episode of 4 with Stan Edgar voted out, right into Ashley Barrett as CEO (not sure how that actually is a thing) to Homelander a part of board, it didn't make much sense. The world doesn't work like that, especially a Disney they are making fun of.

Basically, there's a thicker story they could have wrote here. We still don't know who the Chairman of Vought is (Edgar was the CEO), the stockholders of Vought, etc., all of the people outside of The Boys who can stop Homelander. I mean, he literally went from zero to in control of the world's most powerful company like nothing.

Not sure how things are going to be handled from here on out, but it's getting odd.

This episode and this season in general so far seems a bit forced with some of it's scenarios. Some of the talking points and character lines seemed almost copy and pasted from 2020 political discourse. It's extremely on the nose unlike the previous 2 seasons. I'm not political but it's obviously a bit one sided. Hopefully the other episodes aren't like this one. I know die hards are gonna down vote this, but I implore you to be objective and not emotional about it.

The boys season 3 continues with hit after hit. Every episode has gives us amazing character development powered by incredible acting. The classic wacky moments are here as always, but so are the tragic dark moments as well. A great episode.

I love The Boys. I really do. But this was a filler episode. Ackles is looking good and should prove to be a positive addition to the series but Homelander is still the king. It's perhaps the lack of Homelander that made this a slightly underwhelming episode. I get that we have to move the plot along but hey ho. It takes Soldier Boy so long to fire up his chest that Homelander will have sliced him in half before he fully charges. Talking about plots, I'm HATING the Frenchie storyline. He's a fab character but all this Russian mob poop is just so off base and out of place that it's distracting.

One of the best shows ever. A parody of many things but instead of funny it's eerie, gruesome, intense, and extremely entertaining. Gets better each season.

Loved this show from the beginning. The infusion of you own personal political beliefs will drive a wedge through your fan base.

Love the into of Jenson ackles.

There is NO political pandering in the comic. These people creating this show hamfisted their political beliefs into this show with zero nuance.

It's ALWAYS at the sake of good story telling. This was the worst episode yet. Borderline unwatchable.

We get it. You despise half your audience and have to strawman their beliefs into your show because you're more ideological than a puritan.

Keep the woke nonsense out of things that were never made for it.

Loving this season even more - Homelander is increasingly evil and ever more powerful. I'm surprised by the bleating of some who can't cope with political side of the show, if you can't take a joke you shouldn't have joined.

This is the best episode so far, in the best season (so far). Great acting, story telling, directing, cinematography, music, actuality. Bravo to all involved! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
