4/5

Though the Heavens Fall is possibly the strongest episode of the season — not just for barreling ahead with the plot but for finally reckoning with these questions about aging, mortality, and loss.

8/10

The Boys Season 5 might suffer from a weak first half, but the series has finally rebuilt its momentum. Episode 6 is a strong installment that delivers the exact blend of gross-out humor, action, and superhero drama we've come to expect.

8.5/10

The Boys Season 5 Episode 6 is another great installment of a standout season that may suffer from the aforementioned set-up issues, but has such a firm lock on themes, tone, and character that it remains a must-watch.
