The Review
The Boys Season 4 Episode 5 Review
This episode of The Boys struggles to balance two very different storylines. On one hand, Hughie is forced into a terrible decision, the kind of tough choice he's always avoided. On the other, we get a wacky mix of corporate satire, with jokes about real-world companies, and a bizarre monster movie with bloodthirsty farm animals. While these elements might have worked in an earlier season, they feel crammed together here. There are funny moments and emotional gut punches, but overall, it feels like the show is just cleaning up old plots to make space for new ones. The chaos continues, and with only three episodes left in Season 4, it's unclear if things will settle down.
