That it’s a woman who ultimately neutralizes Homelander shielding is a kind of poetic justice. Go to Full Review Ed Power Daily Telegraph (UK) May 20
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. Go to Full Review Ben Rosenstock New York Magazine/Vulture May 20
2/5
As a result, emotional beats just don’t land with serious oomph anymore the way they did in the first two seasons. Go to Full Review Denis Kimathi TV Fanatic May 21
3.8/5

7/10

3/5
The Boys does not go out on a terrible note, but compared to past seasons, Season 5 is a weaker chapter. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
