I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
is nearly over, and things are starting to go a bit off the rails. Not in a fun, wacky way as we usually see from the show but in a way that’s just…unpleasant and bad. A content warning follows.
This week’s episode, Dirty Business, has the group infiltrating an alt-right meetup where a coup of the government is plotted, led by Homelander and Victoria Neuman. And in this evening we get two of the worst aspects of the show this season, its ham-handed political commentary , and also The Boys trying to out-do itself not by better storylines or character moments, but by just being…gross. But in a way that doesn’t really work at all.
It feels like this episode was trying to ape the infamous “Herogasm” about a superhero orgy that led to a major showdown between characters. That doesn’t happen here, and a large chunk of the evening is mainly devoted to Hughie being sexually tortured by Tek-Knight and Ashley.
There’s only one more season of The Boys after this, at least with this cast as the series movies to spin-offs. But at this point, I’m much more looking forward to Gen V season 2 than whatever happens next here.Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.
