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 Joseph Tomastik Loud and Clear Reviews 2d
3/5
The final episode sends the show out on a surprisingly good note, but considering how little everything else even resembles a dramatic endgame, that’s not quite enough for me to say the season works as a whole. Go to Full Review David Opie Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) 3d
3/5
Just as this season has struggled to outrace our political reality, so too does it fail to live up to the grotesque heights of vile humor it’s hit previously. Go to Full Review Pramit Chatterjee Digital Mafia Talkies 3d
Nothing about this final season worked for me. Everything went downhill after the first episode, and the finale was simply the most underwhelming hour of television that I have ever come across. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Rafael M @RT74103663 2d waste of time and energy...last 2 seasons wew just rubbish See more Amado D @Amado 2d From its first episode, it seemed like it was going to be a massive event, but sadly, this final season has a mix of interesting and completely unnecessary elements. However, it was all redeemed by the grand finale; it was a complete spectacle. Everyone gets their big closure, both satisfying and sad, but with all this, The Boys officially comes to an end, remaining one of the most incredible series in the superhero genre. While the official series may be gone forever, its universe lives on, as there are still more projects that everyone is eagerly awaiting. Rating: 3.5/5 See more LucNinja2021 G @Lucca_GG 2d O final de The Boys não é ruim, só que poderia ter sido um final muito melhor do que foi entregue. A temporada teve seus pontos fortes como a atuação de Jesen Anckles e Anthony Star, porém tiveram muitos episódios que pareciam que a história não progredia. Isso resultou no sentimento de pressa no final da temporada, pois muitos arcos tiveram que ser agilizados ou pouco desenvolvidos. See more Paul R @Juice11Dad 2d Season 5 was underwhelming at best, and kind of disappointing on many levels... I was glad when it was over. See more Alex C @ChefWatchesMovies 2d Very mediocre ending after so much set up. The metaphors got warn out and annoying. Show was declining for pretty much the entire run, so its to be expected. Unfortunate could have been a really great show. See more Hymosa T @RT61568435 2d Beginning of the season had promise, but with the finale that all went away. So many plot lines unanswered or solved in the dumbest ways. See more Read all reviews
