Plot: It’s been a year of calm. Homelander’s subdued. Butcher works for the government, supervised by Hughie of all people. But both men itch to turn this peace and quiet into blood and bone. So when The Boys learn of a mysterious Anti-Supe weapon, it sends them crashing into the Seven, starting a war, and chasing the legend of the first Superhero: Soldier Boy.

I was most anticipated this newest season of the boys.

Season 3 of The Boys was Brilliant.

Pros: This season was the most compressed, intense and most binge watched one yet. It took it’s time with its slow burn approach this season. I like seeing the boys using powers to fight back was so much fun. Each character had there own role in the main story of this year and also this season proves that Homelander is a complicated, menacing bastard.  The ending got me intrigued for a potential season 4. (Spoiler Alert)

Cons: Queen Maeve didn’t do that much except. The Grossness can be too farfor most viewers, and I didn’t get what path Serge or Kimiko was going towards. (In my opinion)
