The Boys S4 ★★★☆☆

I can understand why the writers would feel that dropping and and all subtlety, particularly in the political satire, is warranted right now, but the show has started to feel like a parody of itself as a result. I also think that if the show is going to make watching the spinoff crucial to following the plot (which I am told is even more true for the second series of Gen V) then it making fun of Marvel movie phases and crossovers starts to lose any and all bite. I did enjoy some of the sillier parts, such as the gang unloading into V’d-up chickens that are no-selling the entire thing, and there is still plenty else that I like, but I think that it is time for this show to wrap up. Hopefully the fifth series sticks the landing.
