It's probably a pretty polar experience, watching The Boys, but man, I love this series. Gratified that they will be able to close out the show on their own terms.

I watched the first three seasons. I don't know that I can really say I enjoyed them, so to speak, but I found the show compelling. I mean, I certainly enjoyed parts of them. But I absolutely hated other parts, like the over-the-top gross-out scenes and gore and "edgelordism," as you call it.

I've tried to work up the energy to watch season 4 since it was released, but I haven't been able to muster it. I realized the bleakness and nihilism just weren't working for me. The world is depressing enough already without being reminded of it while trying to unwind.

Same. Season 4 just felt so same-same that the energy to watch it left my body about 10 minutes into the first episode
