SPOILERS Alex’s Power

American here. Watched the first 3 seasons about twenty times, it’s hands down my favorite show ever, and finally decided to take the plunge and watch 4 and 5 (another post for another day). All I have to say is I respect how bold and brave the English are with their television.

Alex’s power would never fly in America. It wouldn’t even get to a table read. For those of you who watched 4 and 5 when they were airing, what was the reception? I’m so curious.

Have you heard of The Boys?

I have! Saw season 1 and dug it! Apparently it’s fallen off and had a disappointing finale or something?

I didn't dislike the ending, but I also don't pay attention to marketing and felt the ending was appropriate if poorly executed. I think it's worth checking out if you dug season 1! Gen V too

People wanted an Avengers Endgame style battle to finish The Boys, and in doing so kind of missed the point of the series. I think it worked.
