        The Boys was great. For about 1.5 seasons and then became an expensive, repetitive, gratuitous mess that made no effort to keep changing the formula. I actually convinced myself it was okay enough to get through the whole series then looked back and thought “I can’t remember a single significant plot development that led to anything real beyond the first season.”

      They almost ruined that series with the budgeting/ animation. They saved it with the finale. I’m not going to hop the animation hate train, though. It definitely came down to budget/ time constraints.
