8/10

In Prime Video's The Boys, season 5, episode 4, titled "King of Hell," proves the series is clairvoyant soothsayers. Credit should also go to Antony Starr, who is delivering the best performance of his career in the show’s final season

5/10

The Boys reaches the low point of Season 5 so far in Episode 4. This episode does little to advance the show's overarching narrative, instead settling for sending heroes and villains alike on a field trip of little consequence.

4.3/5

So the detour this hour is to find V1, and if you ignore the frustrations of these constant bottlenecks, you’re left with a solid hour of The Boys that is just pure fucking fun.
