Wow, TDS has claimed another IP.  Apparently, once you dye your hair pink and purple you can no longer have a creative thought in your head.  Eric Kripke's political bashing aside, there are at least 3 filler episodes in the final season where nothing happens.  This show has devolved into garbage.

This show has always, from the very beginning been anti-Trump. A ton of media has been pretty anti-neo-nazi, to reflect on what absolute scumbag degenerates make up the pedophile supporters that make up his voting base.

Supposedly, some folks kept relating to the asshole characters on this show, not understanding that they are the ones being made fun of, so they kept lowering the subtlety on the satire to a point where it's now basically less than even absent.

Well, at least we know the subtlety is low enough now.

Oh no, we understood from the start. 
We just had more patience at that time, but those days are over I'm thinking wink

I just watch it for the gore. They have a way of making death seem interesting, kind of like that Final Destination.

Re: The Boys

Did earlier Seasons also do so much real-life namedropping? Or is it just this season?
Don't remember. Totally takes me out of the immersion...

First they mentioned Elon Musk and who not and with Episode 5...

▼Spoiler

That poker party...that was the worst encroachment into this story I have yet to witness...
Fine, have those actors sit there and do their thing - but ffs don't use their real names, just have them pretend to be rich junkies or whatever.
The only good thing about that scene was when they were "replaced in space" by Mr. Marathon.

Really sad because otherwise I really enjoyed the episode being split into different character's storylines - felt like the interlude before the final bang.

Yes, those "what the f**k" moments, totally agree. Same with Spartacus, Invincible, etc. - it just takes fantasy or fiction to another level sometimes.

Deserved more runtime:
Abbys | Dead Like Me | Devs | Firefly | Gangsta. | Jack of all Trades | Kevin (probably) saves the World | Lodge 49 | Mrs. Davis | NYC 22 | Powerless | Roadkill | Special Unit 2 | Stumptown | Surface | The Brave | The Crazy Ones | The Finder | The Middleman | Truth Seekers | Two Weeks to Live | Whiskey Cavalier
