Max riemelt candice patton10/13/2023 ![]() Hopefully, this is just the beginning and we get to see her expand her character and her acting abilities.ĭangling storylines from last seasons like Hughie’s quest for revenge against A-Train (who he helped save from an overdose-induced heart attack) and Starlight’s struggle to stick to her ideals while surrounded by amoral sociopaths continue this season. Karen Fukuhara conveys a lot of emotion without ever saying a word, and proves to be one of the strongest actors on the show. New revelations about where she comes from and why she is the way she is, flesh out her character. Kimiko goes on quite a journey in the initial three episodes. Through it, all Karl Urban chews up every scene he is in, but his actions have the others on the team questioning whether they should still follow him or not. His mission to rescue his wife may be the same, but at least he knows now that she is alive. ![]() The show picks up when he walks into the Boys’ hideout at the end of episode one. Stormfront brought some fresh energy to the team, and it was pretty cool to see her in action so quickly.īut of course, everyone is here to watch the Boys in action, and just like last year, Butcher is a larger-than-life character. The Seven gets a new member in Stormfront (Ava Cash), someone who always says what’s on her mind and who loves being a hero. Now I finally get why she keeps her other life s private, and I can’t say I blame Maeve for doing so. Queen Maeve’s (Dominique McElligott) didn’t get much background last season, but her romantic subplot in episodes 2-3 this season was a highlight. Starlight works undercover with Hughie to expose Compound V, but she has a new attitude which I liked. Meanwhile, several of the team’s female characters have much more to do this season. The Deep (Chace Crawford) remains in exile in Ohio and has become tangled up in what seems to be a cult for superpowered people. ![]() Homelander has his unique way of dealing with his murder of Stillwell in Season 1, which is mostly him making life miserable for the Butcher’s wife. The Seven suffered several blows in Season 1, and the group is still recovering from the ordeal. The so-called heroes are twisted, but they have their human side as well. It may be a slow episode but it’s also a necessary one because we see how the events of season 1 affected the Boys as well as members of The Seven. The first episode brings viewers up to speed on where the characters are since we last saw them and sets up things to come in the new season. However, despite a slow start, I wouldn’t call episode 1 a bad one. But there are some cool revelations made about Butcher’s family, which I won’t spoil here. ![]() That big family reunion or confrontation I was expecting never materializes in the first three episodes. I was surprised by his absence considering how last season ended. But that’s because Karl Urban’s Billy Butcher is missing for most of Season 2’s first episode. I’m glad season 2 of “the Boys” is finally here, but unfortunately, the season gets off to a slow start. However, Annie recognizes the need for them to work together if they’re going to expose Vought for lying about Compound V for decades. Through all this, Hughie ofter has a clandestine meeting with Annie (Erin Moriarty), who hasn’t forgiven him for the lies of last season. But whenever they think they’ve turned a corner, their plans keep blowing up in their faces (sometimes literally). In the first episode, the group is still trying to figure out a way to expose the Seven so they can get back to their families and normal lives. It’s a big change from last season, but the good news is that everything else audiences enjoyed about this raunchy, foul-mouthed take on super-heroes, remains the same.Īs the new season begins, The Boys, Jack Quaid’s Hughie, Laz Alonso’s Mother’s Milk, Timer Capon’s Frenchie, and Karen Fukuhara’s Kimiko are still on the run having become fugitives at the end of Season 1. After their September 4 debut on Amazon Prime, new episodes will drop every Friday until the season finale on October 9. It’s not a dream nor a hoax, “The Boys” Season 2 is finally here! Well, at least the first three episodes are.
