The title says it all and kinda gives away the ending. Let’s just say it’s cathartic and messy.

Social media is a dysmorphic lens that warps how we view ourselves and others and numbs us to what’s truly important in life. This is about that.

You know, this woke ideology is becoming diabolically obstreperous. It has gotten to a point now where there are absolutely no redeeming qualities to its nature. It is in this genre, as well as other facets of media and society, evil.
The Boys title is known for its In-your-face-this-is-the-ugly-side-of-reality anti-hero theme. The rawness of the truth that the good guys are not all good and the bad guys have good intentions, but employ bad-guy methods to punish those who forget they are held to a higher purpose, then you have an intriguing story to tell.

This title did not need the woke agenda woven into it. But like all cancer, the extreme Leftists had to infest a good theme and inject their checkbox list of facism.
To be fair, not all the episodes were terrible. Laser Baby had a nice loonytoon meets Roger Rabbit vibe, except the baby was not a midget in her 40s. The episode where the Misfits execute their parents was cool too. It was nice to see the animators to _Rick & Morty_ were able to pull off other types of work and make it good. The episode dealing with the drug pusher to the supes was classic the Boys style writing and it was good to see the animators use the characters from the comic books instead of patterning them after the streaming series. The episode dealing with dating, texting, and social media addiction was okay, but I had trouble with the ending...? Was everything that happened all in his head(???) or was the ending him returning to the Vought for the "side effects??" The episode BFFS was just plain dumb. Not cute. Not endearing. Not inspirational. Just dumb. And thanks to the woke agenda, I wasn't sure if the MC character was a girl until she walked into her room at home. Even then, judging from the voice, I was thinking he was a tranny-in-process. (I'm not sure why Akwafina keeps getting work...? But that needs to stop. And it's a shame too because I liked her in _Jumanji 3_.)
After the idiocy of BFFS, I should have known it was just going to get worse. And it did. The final three episodes were an absolute letdown. The episode where the supes get married was the Left's underhanded feministic-facism at its worst; a straight up attack on the nuclear family. (Dare I mentioned how insanely anti-productive the episode is to their narrative for it using minorities?) The next episode panders to Chinese people (and probably China itself) for being the only episode to end on a note of love and compassion-- qualities not particularly associated with said group. And the final episode, stayed true to the Boys theme, save that (to feminism's delight) it's showing a white man getting away with murder in the most underhanded way possible; lying to the masses. [deadpan] Gee, I wonder if there are any parallel comparisons that could be made with RL? smh, ...f**king woke a-holes...

As I said, it started off okay, but ended in a pig-pile of woke shit. I was not impressed. To be honest, I enjoyed Baby-Laser-Eyes the most. The rest was take it or leave it. I left most of it. Good luck in your viewing.
