The Boys: Season 4

"While the writing is as sharp as ever, this season takes a slower approach... and it’s all the better for it."

"Fans will love it; Season 4 is simply phenomenal."

"As the stakes rise and franchise expansion continues, (it) has a less steady handle on these newer aspects of its growing mission."

"There’s a lot going on. Alas, the multitude of storylines fail to cohere in a satisfying way."

"The series might have lost some of its freshness but not its ability to surprise and provoke."

"Wildly entertaining but the cracks are starting to show."

"Make no mistake: The Boys is at the top of its game."

"The series' formulaic approach is starting to show... and the need for a natural and compelling endpoint is becoming evident."

"Season 4 can’t capitalise on all its competing plotlines, but still delivers the show’s signature shock and awe."

"Bigger, bolder, and bloodier than ever."

"(The) blunt superhero satire is losing its punch."

"Bleaker than ever in Season 4."

"Retains a refreshing quality thanks to intriguing new characters and plot twists."

"Season 4 boasts extra bite."

"This is a show that's always been pretty bleak, but season 4 gets downright depressing."
