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 John Stark Mac the Movie Guy 20h
75/100
The same show you fell in love with,but it isn’t sure how to please fans that have divided since Season 4, and attempts some possible unity, sacrificing its tone and penchant for doing the audacious and unexpected. Go to Full Review Abhimanyu Mathur Hindustan Times 21h
3.5/5
It goes off the rails, as all mercurial people do, but when it matters, The Boys delivers. It reminds you that good storytelling can sometimes be quite simple, and yet connect. Go to Full Review Mark Cassidy ComicBookMovie.com 22h

Yash B @yashbansal 15h "The Boys" has been one of the most popular streaming shows for years, and it has finally come to an end. I have always enjoyed the insanity this show presented. It is very violent and raunchy, but it always owned it and was a lot of fun. I have heard a lot of people criticize the most recent seasons, but to me, it has always been a fairly consistent series. I like the characters and think there are plenty of exciting and intense moments. I do feel that at a point around the third season, it starts to spin its wheels a bit, but I think the way the last season ended, I felt satisfied. It is a show that is grand in scope, so it is tough to please everyone. Overall, I like this show, and I'll genuinely miss it and think it is a sharp satire on the superhero genre as well as the insanity of the world today. See more Nicolas L @Nicolas64 16h Un final decepcionante y una temporada con demasiado relleno. Ridículo como toda esta temporada fue un comercial de vought rising y como los últimos episodios se sintieron súper forzados y muy cansados The boys merecía algo mucho mejor y este final está igual de malo que el final de stranger things y de Game of thrones See more Daniel T @DanielT501 16h The finale is fire. We get closures that appease fans See more Maddox G. @maddoxblade 16h Loved the show overall, but the last episode should’ve been a bit longer. Didn’t like how quick they defeated Homelander. And Butcher should’ve gone harder on Homelander than just what he did. Despite that, the overall show is fantastic See more Orlando S @Orly85 16h It was certainly no the best of the five season, it probably wasn't the worst either. But it started perfectly with A-Train's arc coming to a perfect conclusion and the rest of the show finished pretty well. It left me satisfied with the outcome. Not gonna lie, wish we got to see more of Homelander's new reality. See more Harvey P @RT34332570 16h Disappointing, wonder if the budget decreased, acting good but one sided agenda and bad pacing ruined it See more Read all reviews
