I've been following The Boys from S1. And hot damn, it was genius.

I went in with the same expectations into S2, but I found it sometimes lacking. Still my enthusiasm and momentum carried me through, right into S3... and boy, if they dropped the ball in this season.

Let's get the positive stuff out of the way: Antony Starr and Jensen Ackles are both pretty awesome in their roles. And Kimiko's final decision about her power was really heartfelt.

OK, that was quick. Now, the rest...

The writing in the whole season is nothing short of abysmal. Gone are the intriguing premises of ordinary people fighting an evil company with superheroes. Gone are the reliance on grit and wit and street smarts to outmaneuver your opponent. Instead enter a**-pulled contrivances, half-baked subversions and downright stupidity.

Instead of an intriguing story you get everyday politics injected into the show - in spades. And with a subtlety of cracking a walnut with a sledgehammer. "Oh You see? We mock woke corporate marketing! We mock Orange Man! Underground media! Mainstream media! We're bashing both left and right, aren't we kewl?"

The writers also had no idea what to do with their characters after S2. They had put half of the cast on pause or simply abandoned their storyline. Characters constantly make stupid and/or contradictory decisions that they would never have made in previous seasons. Power levels and power dynamics are being shifted on a dime. The last episode was especially full with eye-rolling moments, from Maeve dropping some of the deadliest nerve agent right onto the city to the awful final showdown.

Thank you show, you had such a promising premise, I even held my hopes high after S2 for all the ongoing storylines, but you let me down big time.
