Season 3 of Amazon Studios' TheBoys drops the humor and ups the darkness and depravity, and makes the whole show less entertaining in the process.
The typical formula for television dramas is to raise the stakes with each season, pitting the series’ protagonists against increasingly potent threats that rise from the ashes of prior seasons’ triumphs.
Season 3 of The Boys dispenses with all of that, though, and delivers the darkest, most grueling, and emotionally punishing chapter of the series so far, without any indication that a cathartic conclusion is anywhere on the horizon. The parallels with recent events don’t end there, either, with the Black Lives Matter movement, right-wing disinformation campaigns, and even a parody of the infamous NXIVM sex cult all finding their way into the season-long story arc.
Basically, the villains in The Boys just keep getting worse, the heroes keep getting hurt, and the audience just keeps getting strung along. Sadly, those bright spots are few and far between in the overwhelmingly bleak season, which now seems more intent on testing its fans’ capacity for absorbing narrative abuse. At every opportunity to give audiences a glimmer of hope for the characters they’ve grown fond of, The Boys opts to inflict further punishment on them. When it seems like something might go their way, things only get worse.
