The Boys: The Instant White-Hot Wild (2022)
Season 3, Episode 8
8/10
Is Amazon trying to extend the series and how is that affecting the writing?
8 July 2022
The writers seem to find it difficult to find creative ways to end the season finales. Some writing is similar to what we have seen before. The ending scene is a great setup for the next season which might be the last. It might be better to quit while ahead and make the final season more meaningful because right now it feels like they're taking very small steps forward. Some things felt pointless but more of The Boys is always appreciated.

Homelander is as good as ever. Yes, he is probably beyond saving but his screen presence is unlike nothing I've seen before. My eyes are glued to the screen while he's on. He's not just evil, he's the product of a bad upbringing and bad influences. This makes you feel for him when he's showing emotions, even though he commits a terrible act one minute later.

Every other character is also on point. Thanks to the backstory we got in the previous episodes and meaningful dialogue we understand every character's motives and actions. When they do something unexpected and wrong you can't help but scream "NO!".
