Superheroes are often as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and sometimes even as revered as gods. But that's when they're using their powers for good. What happens when the heroes go rogue and start abusing their powers? When it's the powerless against the super powerful, the Boys head out on a heroic quest to expose the truth about the Seven and Vought, the multibillion-dollar conglomerate that manages the superheroes and covers up their dirty secrets. Based on the comic book series of the same name.

Critics Consensus

The Boys stays true to its form and completes its mission with ample panache, narrative pay-off, and an excess of blood and guts to deviously glorious effect.

Audience Says

While the political satire doesn’t always land, diabolism prevails -- The Boys will be The Boys.

The Boys’ latest comeback is proving to be promising, though, in a way that bodes well for the conclusion of a series that once felt profane, fresh, and exciting.

3.5/5

The show’s fifth and final season has a familiar structure... But it stays strong – there’s even more gore and screw-loose social media commentary.

2.5/4

The greatest existential threat in the show's final season turns out to be reality itself.

There’s no world of the show anymore, just our real one. It’s so busy responding to or mirroring things from our own, it’s lost track of the thrust of the show.

With earlier seasons, most of this sardonic imagery felt exaggerated enough to come off as political satire. But in this final season, the material has unfortunately aged like fine wine, much to the chagrin of Kripke’s razor sharp wit.

The meandering final season doesn’t negate what The Boys as a whole accomplished. This gory, bloody mess has heart, and it’s justifiably angry and ready to beat you over the head with its messaging.

Worst woketarded season of them all. Sparkle Girl " "Golden Geisha yeah thats not racsit". Talking about a Japanese female Supe. How is that racist? Adk the mind of a liberal brainwashed white guilty everything other cultures do offends me moron like the one who wrote it. Add the over the top cussing.Sounds like what a year old home schooled boy thinks adults talk like. Gumbled random cuss words usually about the male anatomy. So many bad choices that make this show only watchable if you fast forward through everyone except Homelander and Butcher. A Cuban playing a ghetto black guy who went from Kimbo to Pryor in 2 seasons. Before when he was actually large and tough looking he couldnt fight a supe but now that hes scrawny he beats them bare handed? The white male American hating writers killed a great show

Um desperdício do seu tempo para propaganda política, é isso que é a série final

I don't think the season is bad, but it's rather ho-hum for what should be a pretty big ending. It's not bad by any means but just kind of disappointing

It's a conclusion. There is lots of death and in this style of story, nearly all the bad guys and sufficient good ones to tug at heart strings. What began as a fun, zany look at the world...was turned into, yet another, 'look this analogy for today's America'. It isn't. It's just entry in a case study examining how investors money has been spanked by the creatives in an industry nearly a decade into a hissy fit. It will end when this era's Yankee Doodle Dandy inevitably gets made and we boomerang in the other direction. Joy.

That show peaked around season 2 and now it feels like they just throwing random shock value at the wall hoping something sticks

The resolution is still pretty good even if it feels rushed.
