What's remarkable about The Boys as a series is that each season has never felt starkly different from what came before it, each batch of episodes truly playing like the next collection of issues in a larger narrative, but at the same time has never gotten stale. When the series is complete there will seemingly be a host of seasons that all tell one big story, with the breaks between no longer carrying the weight of a hiatus and simply directing where the tale goes next. That is not to say that the series feels the same from seasons one to two to now three, or that at any point the show is spinning its wheels, because the surprises that they manage to sneak into literally every episode always manage to top what came before them. 

 

The Boys as a TV show is entering a rare territory, one where it has staked its own claim with the property and seems poised to exceed its source material in many ways. While Ennis and Robertson's comics will always be present and available for readers, TV series creator Kripke has elevated the material to fit our current era like how the original text was a major response to early-2000s politics. Both versions of this story, in print and on screen, contain elements that will tragically always be timeless, but The Boys TV series has found where it can improve on its source, and it's done that.

How are they releasing this season's episodes?  I thought Prime usually dropped entire seasons at once, but it looks like they only dropped the first three episodes.

A few months back Amazon noted it was going to break up the season to avoid binging everything.

If that was the massage scene, yes.  Way too much.

 

I was debating if I wanted to continue but then I finished the rest and they were great.

I think he meant the dinner with Timothy. LOL. It was twisted yet funny at same time. And hard to watch. Which is basically what this whole series is about.

the writers on this show are great-the scene with Homelander trying to beat Stan to the chair is priceless. :) (he didn't realize it was a race until too late!!)
