Superheroes are often as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and sometimes even as revered as gods. But that's when they're using their powers for good. What happens when the heroes go rogue and start abusing their powers? When it's the powerless against the super powerful, the Boys head out on a heroic quest to expose the truth about the Seven and Vought, the multibillion-dollar conglomerate that manages the superheroes and covers up their dirty secrets. Based on the comic book series of the same name.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Boys stays true to its form and completes its mission with ample panache, narrative pay-off, and an excess of blood and guts to deviously glorious effect.

Audience Says

While the political satire doesn’t always land, diabolism prevails -- The Boys will be The Boys.

The Boys’ latest comeback is proving to be promising, though, in a way that bodes well for the conclusion of a series that once felt profane, fresh, and exciting. Go to Full Review Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) Apr 14
3.5/5
The show’s fifth and final season has a familiar structure... But it stays strong – there’s even more gore and screw-loose social media commentary. Go to Full Review Justin Clark Slant Magazine Apr 13
2.5/4
The greatest existential threat in the show's final season turns out to be reality itself. Go to Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba Apr 28
The Boys used to feel like catharsis. Now it feels like the worst history lesson ever. It's a drag. Go to Full Review Chris Joyce Movies and Munchies (YouTube) Apr 17

Norbert S @RT54322961 1h I am stunned how low narrative part has dropped in S5. Especially when Kimiko starts to talk. I was expecting deeper conversations than swearing and just saying d**k every 2nd word, but it isn’t only from Kimiko. As fan of this series I just want to finished this show with this "great" finale. I recommend watching seasons 1-3 and treat this series with open ending From the top to the bottom. Like Homelander 😔 See more Ricardo S @RT50016912 4h Essa serie virou fezes no seu mais puro teor, nao existe mais plot bom, roteiro rídiculo e previsivel. See more Dead S @RT56360908 11h Dissapointing season all around. Maybe it should have ended up unfinished in season 3 instead of this garbage See more Skylor C. @RT67161334 17h This has been one of the only shows to actively make me hate it the more episodes come out from a true fan this season has been just like the rest these seasons have gotten progressively worse and worse and this was my final straw, the whole season is just more filler prolonging homelander death but this season NOTHING HAPPENS it's just all filler leading to the final episode and the final episode SUCKS what a waste of my time. See more flavia T @RT75166088 18h Season 1 was, and always will be, the best. The perfect final plot would have been Butcher determined to kill all supes with the virus, and he even kills his own team members to see it through, only to stop upon finding out he got Maeve pregnant and his child is a supe too. Season 1 Homelander was a Nazi-like villain: he was scary because it made the viewer ask "does he know?". Does he know what happened to Butcher's wife?, does he know about The Boys? Does he know about A train's girlfriend? anyhow, the show is a joke now.... See more gojira1956 T @RT14459183 19h hoemlander is cool and also very fun to watch. the show is very funny too which carries it See more Read all reviews
