The Boys: Good for the Soul (2019)
Episode 5, Season 1
Weakest episode to date

Slow. Predictable. This show shines best when the focus is on the team. When it spends too much time on the villainous heroes, who are 2 dimensional boring figures, it bogs down in self-congratulatory virtue signaling. It would be more interesting if the bad guys were not comically degenerate hypocrites and if it didn't flatter its audience by inviting cheap contrasts. Episodes 2-5 avoided this by delivering a fun portrayal of the protagonists who carry the show much better than the cardboard villains.
