Episode 4 is one of the best episodes of the show. It's heartfelt and provoking. The Boys are back at it. The investigation parts are always some of the best of the series, and they are so well done. A lot of cool twists in this episode. Vicky fears for Zoe and throws Stan Edgar under the bus, just to get to a truly tragic moment where she turns the child into a Supe for protection.

There is a fantastic Kimiko fight choreography, but at the same time, it just has its toll on our protagonist, and it's so sad. Talking about fight scenes, The Deep going in against A-Train was surprising, but absolutely exciting. Last season, the two were practically allies or working together to get back into the Seven, but now the dynamics are shifting completely, and it's gripping for the audience. Both actors are playing their part to perfection.

Butcher and co discover Soldier Boy is alive in this episode, just as the group witnesses Billy's abilities. It's truly a shocker and an holy hell moment for everyone, and the reaction of Frenchie, M. M. and Kimiko are insane. But no wait, it's not over. Hughie comes in and has abilities too. V24 has been succesful for him, and the scene where he teleports and ends up buck naked is hilarious.

Now, the last scene. Starlight finding out Alex's ripped body is iconic and the statement of this season. We have now reached the halfway point, and Homelander just layed down the law. Poor Annie. She is stuck and cannot do anything, and she is losing power. Homelander knows about the conspiracies and little plans. It's almost hopeless now. At this point, you just want Annie to snap and go flipping crazy. Because she deserves a win, and the tension is just building, and building and building... You can see it in her eyes.

Need I say more?

Best episode of the season so far.

I don't want any bad thing to happen to Mon Ceur though.

At the grand finale of the episode, when homelander has something to show the viewers, you'd just know that there's something terrible...

Wow... Best episode of the season so far. This is dark even for The Boys this is just bonkers. Homelander killing Supersonic to send a message to starlight and Butcher and Hughie becoming supes Victoria turning on Edgar and the most anticipated moment Soldier Boy being brought back in to the world. The episode had it all.

Man, this one gets dark. This may be the "Empire Strikes Back" of The Boys continuum. I mean that not only in the "phenomenal transitional piece" way, which it certainly is, but also the "okay, the bad guys may legitimately win this" way.

The Boys are on their last leg. The worst side of Hughie is coming out. Homelander is making key move after key move in his chess match with Edgar/Annie/Maeve. A semi-significant character (who, by the way, I think they handled masterfully with his fake love comment) just got slaughtered. Soldier Boy is back and possibly an anti-supe formula. Neuman is team Homelander (for now). So much is happening.

This is a big one, and one of the best episodes of the show, after only the S2 finale, in my opinion. Well done, and I'll be anxiously awaiting the next installment.

Episode 4: Aside Karen Fukuhara and Anthony Starr's very (very) good acting, the bunch of hi-quality scenes involving their characters and Kimiko's crazy display while nicely dressed (suits her very much), the whole rest of the episode brought nothing and no particular emotions whatsoever, for me at least.

Something huge is missing in this season of The Boys and IMO that's the flow. The vibe of the episode(s) is disjointed with weak, cut-off, island plots, each having a little screentime and that would be the culprit of unsatisfaction.

The tension is rising all the way up to 11, the stakes are nerve-wracking, whatever happens will be dire, the bad guys are more petrifying than ever, there is absolutely no exoneration for anyone anymore.

Kudos to the writers for unhinging Homelander!

I can't imagine what's in store for us for the remainder of this season, let alone the recently renewed S4. But given their track-record, "The Boys" do and will reign as the supreme escapism TV can offer.

An episode that tries to be way more cleverer than it actually is;

So how to review this episode, well shot, directed, acting ability is more of the same, 'less is more' approach which is a poor excuse to hide limited range.

Betrayal, gory deaths, a few twists because thats cool and interesting, but it's all lacking just a litle subtlety, yes the show is full on but some moments could be done with a little more tact for pacing and allowing the viewer a few seconds of respite, to catch up, other wise it's just yet another shot gun blast of desposition to the face.

And once you get around that, between action set pieces it's filled with irrelavant monologues and preaching, or creepy sexual tension like the writers forget gore isn't enough for r ratings.

And then they throw in soldier boy's arrival in to the present day in the final few minutes...like as a cheap pay off for suffering through it.

But if you stil watching the show at this point then you should know by know it's not shakespear or war and peace.
