‘The Boys’ to End With Season 5 on Amazon
Ahead of the premiere of "The Boys" Season 4, showrunner Eric Kripke has announced the Amazon Prime Video series will conclude with its fifth season.
Cool. I might watch it now lol. Getting confirmation by a showrunner that a series will get to complete the overarching story they had planned is like a huge green light for me to check out a show I missed the train on earlier.
Especially since it feels like more things are getting canceled only two or three seasons in.
I think this will also help the show, as it was starting to go off the rails as they started to move further away from the source material.
It's a good series. Id recommend watching
Pirate that shit so they don't make any ad revenue from your viewing.
Ah, fuck, I forgot about that. I shelled out the extra $3 for ad free because I couldn't be bothered for Fallout but, yeah, hoist the sails 🏴☠️
Bonus Points: The show runners don't even have to worry about losing their job for next season!
And if you’ve already paid for Prime, make sure to use your free prime sub on twitch so some of that money goes to content creators.
First season and a half were ok. Then snorefest
Well, any time a show deviates from the original source as big and as soon as they did with this one, it's going to end up being written by people that don't really understand what made the show worth trying to make in the first place.
They essentially destroyed the character arcs at the end of season one.
So, you now have the second season being made with a totally different set of minds steering the story. Now, if they'd scrapped the original personalities, motivations, and arcs early in the first season, then done their own thing, the shift in all of that wouldn't have been as jarring. I'm fine with deviating from source in theory, it's about how well that's done.
The boys did it very poorly, and it shows the most during the transition, which was around the middle of season two, which is when you mentioned. Frankly, the writers and producers didn't know what they had. It made what was an amazing cast struggle to find their pace and personas.
Agree. First season was great, the rest was good but you could feel it lose the pacing and point as it moved further and further. Laughed my ass off at the Whale scene tho
Yeah first couple seasons felt like there were actual stakes, but longer series went on more it became apparent that the writers weren't going to kill off certain characters and come up with reasons to have then avoid doing so. Last season was really bad in that department with the final episode.
I tried watching it, but it was too depressingly accurate to real life for me.
If only he could have done that for supernatural.
Good. Quit before it goes to shit.
For some reason i thought it was already done
