I would rate it as "It's fine".

Trying to judge it objectively, I just don't see The Boys being something I ever think about (much less rewatch) again. At least half of the episodes from seasons 2+ feel like wheel spinning (at least this season is better than Season 4 on that front); but at the end of the day, the contrivances needed to have the (mostly unpowered) TV versions of The Boys survive the likes of Homelander for years on end just makes it clear the ultimate superpower is plot armor.

I will say that all of the prequel introductions this season rub me the wrong way; beyond having a time period where the writers will get to have every episode be about White Men being bad while sabotaging the one true wisdom that is Communism, we now know half the damn cast can't die. Way to keep the suspense going.

The show had an amazing season 1. Season 2 sucked but held up by Urban/Starr. Ackles has held it up for 3 & 5. Butcher they fucked up on I feel. I think it's hard to upstage Urban & Starr but Ackles is just landing his role

I want to root for Starr but he's always just been ass in real life it sounds like. He has banged an insane amount of girls from the sounds of it, stories of him are always bonkers

The problem is most characters are unlikable, which has been a trend this past decade. And, you know, for some reason I cannot stand Jack Quaid. There's just something about that actor that annoys me.

His punchable face.

He's ugly and can't act. Just got the job through nepotism. Must be nice to have Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid as parents.

Only two more episodes and it doesn't feel like it. Reading the spoilers for next episode is super underwhelming, as well. There's been too many buildups and pullbacks.

It's really sad how badly they assassinated Deep. He was likable and funny in the first 2 seasons. Now it's like he works for the southern poverty law center pretending to be a proud boy.

Deep didn’t destroy the pipe, but he did lie about fish liking it rather than try to stop the pipe

Since the link between Kripke and Jensen Ackles has been mentioned.. which brought in Supernatural... And two other Supernatural actors... They decided to do something entertaining with it.

Second before last episode. Pretty sure the episode title was to troll comic readers. It’s clear at this point they aren’t doing the comic ending or even Butcher’s original ending. The whole scene with Hughie and Butcher feels like a setup for Butcher to finally have someone stop him from going too far in the finale.

Still not sure why the fish all think Deep caused the pipeline spill - did Noir wear a Deep costume? Seems like the writers wanted a poor explanation as to why the ocean hates Deep now

Not sure the finale will hit right. There was a major death but it kind of felt meh who cares at this point, probably because they kept hoisting death flags the size of Jupiter in every scene

The pipeline was endorsed by The Deep who kept saying all the fish were very happy about it because the corals growing on it provided social housing for low-income fish. When the disaster happened, the fish blamed him. It's possible all the fish that actually saw Black Noir do it died in the ensuing oil spill.

My guess for the next episode is
Butcher tanks Homelander while they combine Kimiko's newly-acquired chest-blast to neutralize Homelander's abilities with Marie Moreau's blood manipulation to extract the V1 from his blood, then Butcher kills Homelander.

I'd wager Hughie kills Homelander once he's de-powered. The softest, weakest human he never kills because he thought him 0 threat actually killing him is almost too obtuse not to do.

I like how they tease the greatest show ever. Homelander/Jesus scouring the land killing trannies and illegals with his friend eagly.

Goldmine right there.

Well at this point I pretty much hate all of them.

Finale will be Homelander not able to kill MM or Starlight because he won't be able to recognize them from all the fucking surgery.
