I'm still curious if The Boys will make two more good seasons. Season three was a mixed bag for me. I really want the next two final seasons to be great, but the show and concept just feels to be running out of steam. I hope I'm wrong about that and we get two more fantastic seasons.

This spin-off? Meh. I might watch if it gets great reviews. But really, not everything needs a dozen seasons, reboots, spin-offs, etc.

Nah I agree. S3 just felt like it was continuing the same "will Homelander turn of the public or won't he?" treadmill that it's been running on since S1. It feels like everything always ends up back at status quo no matter what happens.

Well put. No matter what they did in season 3—repeatedly—everything went back to where they started.

I loved season 1 & 2. Honestly, my guess is I won't like what they do with season 4. Maybe they'll pull the ending together for the final season. I haven't read where the comic books end, so I have no idea where or if they are going with that same ending. Who knows. After season 3, I'm only mildly looking forward to season 4.

Shame.

If they’re only going for 5 seasons they could end season 4 very differently

I really disliked Season 3, and especially what they did to Hughie for no reason other than to manufacture dumb relationship drama. Felt like a plotline out of a CW show or something. I really disliked how when people pointed some of these flaws out, Kripke went on a Twitter rant about how anyone who dared criticize his writing is obviously just an incel or a misogynist.

I was never much of a fan of Supernatural or the writing there, so I was surprised when the first two seasons of The Boys were so solid. Now I'm starting to see those same cheesy, completely manufactured plot choices pop up in this series as well. I'm still probably going to check out Season 4, but my expectations are pretty low, and if it turns into more dumb, manufactured relationship drama I'll probably give up on it entirely. Meanwhile this spin off feels like the absolute worst parts of The Boys personified.

The general belief is that the arcs they have left to adapt will last them two more seasons.
