4/5

It’s a poignant ending, and even if the finale squeezes too much into a running time of just over an hour, it avoids a Game of Thrones-level meltdown.

As a result, emotional beats just don’t land with serious oomph anymore the way they did in the first two seasons.

“Blood and Bone” is entertaining because that’s the base level for The Boys. But beyond that, it’s sloppy, rushed, and totally unbelievable.

7/10

The Boys, season 5, episode 8, "Blood and Bone," is ambitious and cathartic, but cannot possibly live up to sky-high expectations.

The Boys does not go out on a terrible note, but compared to past seasons, Season 5 is a weaker chapter.
