      I never loved the show, so I never grew to hate it. I mostly enjoyed it while it aired including this season.

    I thought it was good and I liked it. I don’t know why it’s getting all this hate.

      I think they landed the plane but we took some confusing and ultimately pointless detours.

      Season 3 felt like we were at the series finale, but then we decided to keep going. Especially if you watched Gen V. We spent a LONG time building up the virus, which does have a payoff with Butcher at the end, but it just felt pointless.

      I think you could re-edit season 4 & 5 down to just a few episodes and not lose any story.

      That all being said, I agree I don’t get the level of hate. Everyone got a “good” ending and more or less what I’ve been looking forward to for many seasons.

      Okay, good to hear that. I am traveling for a few months and want to watch the new season on my home theater setup, but I can’t avoid all the drama, which is so bad.

      It’s refreshing to see another opinion!

      yeah. the finale didn’t have the oomph i was expecting but it wasn’t bad like many finales are. decent way to wrap up the series.

    That is how I feel about the majority of the franchise.

    The Boys

    • The first season was great.
    • The second season was SSDD that was carried by Stormstrike.
    • The third season was just SSDD with no new character to save it.
    • I made it to the toilet scene in the Supe Orgy house in the fourth season and noped out.
    • I won’t bother watching the fifth season.

    I checked out GenV out of boredom and the first season was entertaining. I was a lot of the same old, same old, but it was entertaining. I did maybe three episodes of S2 before I dumped it.

    In short the majority of the franchise has felt like watching a comedian bomb their set.

      I dont know what SSDD is but the show has always looked boring to me. The production ws fine for season one as a counter to the overproduced marvels but as it went on it just looked so flat and boring, even the real world doesnt look like that.

      Gen V kind of the same deal, interesting characters but somehow boring show. Season 2 episode one was the end for me.

      Yeah I also got bored immediately after season 1. Which is par for the course with Kripke, the guy can’t finish series.

      I fell off watching as it became clear all that was left was shock humor from random kinks being on screen. Also it’s not the fault of the show, but the parody got way to close to reality at times.

    Reality doesn’t conform to self-inflated expectations, hence the heartbreak.

      Correct, reality is that the show was boring after season 1 — just like the rest of the garbage Kripke puts out.

    It felt like the showrunners were excited to be moving on for that sweet star wars money.

    It joins lost and game of thrones in the great list of shit I will never watch again.
