Totally worth it, that ending was amazing!
"The Boys finale was absolutely amazing. Even though a lot of what I thought would happen didn't happen, I thought it was great. There's a stark difference between the ST ending and TB, even though the plot is the same," commented another user.

I just ended watching it and for the most part it's pretty obvious show ending, nothing super crazy, just brutal and partially emotional
I agree on lacking of build up in fifth season
Stranger Things ended weaker and foolish IMO
"Can't get over how disrespectful the finale was, like oh my God I ain't watching nothing no more of the boys universe," wrote a disappointed user.

Another user commented, "Five seasons of apocalyptic build-up, and we got small hallway fights and a tidy Oval Office showdown. Went out with a sigh, not a bang. 6/10."

"Watched the boys finale, I'm going to miss the boys so very, very much… At least we have spin-offs coming soon….for the finale, it was fine. I was worried that it was going to be bad, but they kind of tried to do their best. I'll give it 8/10," shared a user on X.

The Boys Season 5 was very mixed on an episode-by-episode basis, but the finale was awesome and very satisfying with the except of the Soldier Boy loose end. Regardless, loved it. Just wish the rest of the season actually mattered and couldnt have been done in just 1 episode.
