The Boys, a series I started watching on someone's recommendation, grabbed my attention with its first two seasons but had me feeling a bit let down by the latest installment, leading to an overall rating of 8/10. Initially, the show impressed with its bold take on the superhero genre, blending dark humor with a gritty, more realistic view of what a world with super-powered individuals might look like.

The first two seasons of The Boys were particularly strong. They offered a refreshing and captivating twist on the traditional superhero narrative, with well-developed characters and a plot that was both engaging and thought-provoking. The show's ability to mix action, drama, and satire was executed brilliantly, making it a standout in the realm of superhero-themed entertainment.

However, the latest season didn't quite live up to the high standards set by its predecessors. The plot began to feel a bit too far-fetched, even for a show that revolves around superhumans. The shift towards more unrealistic elements seemed to detract from the gritty realism that made the earlier seasons so compelling. This change in tone caused the show to lose some of its initial allure and impact.
