When Eric Kripke’s The Boys debuted on Amazon Prime Video in 2019, it felt like a much-needed breath of fresh air in an already crowded, near-saturated superhero genre. Its core idea, which posited that the world’s most powerful superheroes might not be as well-intentioned as they appear, was both bold and original.
As a result, the show became an instant hit among streaming audiences. So, the anticipation around the fifth and final season is naturally sky-high. Now, the fifth and final season is set to launch today on Prime Video, and the critics’ ratings are already in. Read on to find out The Boys Season 5’s Rotten Tomatoes score and how it compares to the previous four seasons.
