The story-arc of Series 1 was PERFECT, i.e. weak Few versus the strong Many. In Series 2 the writers completely lost the plot. Went to sleep twice in winding episodes that failed to hold my attention, but was wide awake when the Terrible Two (Homelander & Stormfront), now. white supremacist, bigots utterd a phrase that sounded remarkably like "Make America Great Again". Unwise and appallingly timed. The fans loved "The Boys" for its abandonment of partisan, identity politics, so it's catastrophic that Series 2 added to the above defects, suddenly found a couple more female Super-Heroes, but no more Super-Males, converting some of the struggles into mere hen-fights, with the males as mere spectators. Oh Xerxes!
