The Boys (Season 4) - Here we go again

The Boys' fans eagerly anticipated this new season and all the craziness it would bring. As happens often, when you have too high expectations, some are seriously disappointed.

It's not that the show didn't deliver what it promised. The audience had too much time to create their own theories and guess situations, and some of them… were extremely defrauded.

Kimiko and Frenchy

One of the most criticized situations in the first three episodes was Frenchy's relationship with a man. Most fans imagined that he would end up in a romantic relationship with Kimiko.

Sure, they ignored previous mentions of his bisexuality or that Kimiko rejected him. Honestly, I wanted them to be together, but the whole point of this show is to drive us insane with all sorts of unexpected situations.

Starlight

People can't stop commenting on Erin Moriarty's appearance. Yes, she looks very different, but so does Laz Alonso (MM), and it's okay. Why so much fuss (and critics) about her?

People are also unhappy with Starlight's development, but let's face it, she was a bit annoying since day 1. She is one of my least favorite characters in the show.

Shocking?

I've seen some news about how The Boys' fans were shocked and disgusted by a few scenes. I have to laugh. I'm pretty sure no one who watched (and liked) previous seasons of this show was shocked by anything they saw here. Maybe a bit surprised…

To tell you the truth, it is kind of ridiculous. So, people think that a butthole or a bunch of guys having some fun in the sauna is shocking, but all violence, blood, and crashed skulls are okay. Priorities are getting wild, aren't they?

Homelander still controversial

For now, the best part of the story is Homelander struggling with aging and becoming less relevant. He is desperate to create a relationship with his son, but he simply can't. He is unable to do it, and he is getting jealous of the kid, which is sad.

Some fans really seem to care for the character, and these little bits of vulnerability the writers put in him are precisely for that. He is the crazy villain you are not supposed to like, but you may sometimes feel sorry for him.

What is to come?

I only watched the first three episodes, and I felt like they were giving us context for what comes next. I didn't like the first one, but it is getting better, and I am hoping for a great season from now on.

Wednesday 2 (Part 1) – A Gorgeously Dark Return to Nevermore

Wednesday Season 2 lands with all the gothic flair that made the original binge-worthy —this time spotlighting even richer family dynamics and chilling new mysteries at Nevermore Academy. The first four episodes dropped on Netflix August 6, 2025 , with fans grudgingly waiting until September 3 for Part 2 . Why It’s Still a Blast Jenna Ortega continues to shine as a morose sleuth grappling with her supernatural talents and unwanted hero status. Her sharp delivery and deadpan wit are as compelling as ever. Family ties get deeper attention —Pugsley’s arrival at school, Morticia’s campus involvement (with Catherine Zeta-Jones in flamboyant form), and intriguing new faces like Steve Buscemi as the oddball new principal elevate the ensemble. Atmosphere and aesthetic remain rich and inventive. Tim Burton’s return as director (including a delightfully eerie animated sequence) and the inclusion of ominous crows and haunting visuals continue to delight. Mystery hooks abound...

Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story - review

While I found the pacing of Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story slow and, at times, even boring, the show shines in one particular area: its psychological depth. What kept me engaged wasn’t the storytelling rhythm, but the way it explored two very distinct and haunting personalities under the same roof. Two Sides of the Same Violence The series captures the sharp contrast between Lyle and Erik brilliantly. On one side, we see the volatile, angry, and violent brother—unpredictable but outwardly dominant, always ready to explode. On the other side, there is the insecure, fragile “mouse” of the family—timid, hesitant, almost paralyzed by fear. Yet, what makes Erik compelling is that under the right conditions, even he can lash out violently, especially when pulled into the orbit of his more aggressive brother. The dynamic between them feels like a nightmare recipe: one commanding, the other submissive, but both carrying destructive potential. The Many Shape...
