This is The Boys, as timely as ever, and I mean “timely” as both a compliment and a criticism.

7/10

The Boys gets off to a fairly disjointed start in Season 5’s two-episode debut. Episode 1 is easily the stronger of the two.

It’s a lot going on, as everything the show has been building competes for attention.
