It was pretty good, but Homelander totally carried the whole episode. His scenes were the highlight, and he's just so intense and magnetic. You'll see what I mean when you watch it.

But honestly, there wasn't a whole lot of stuff happening in this episode, which was kind of a letdown. I had high hopes after the crazy ending of Gen V. That finale was explosive and set the bar really high for what's next. I was expecting The Boys to pick up right where Gen V left off, with lots of action and excitement. Instead, this episode felt more like a setup, laying the groundwork for what's to come. It was a bit slower than I wanted.

Don't get me wrong, setting things up is important, but after Gen V's intense ending, I was hoping for more right out of the gate. It's like they're gearing up for something big, but the opener didn't really pack the punch I was hoping for. I wanted more action and craziness that The Boys usually brings.

If you're into Homelander, you'll love his scenes because he's as terrifying and compelling as ever. But overall, I was expecting a stronger start to the season. Maybe it's just building up to something huge, and the next episodes will be wild. Let's see where it goes! Watch the episode and see if you feel the same way.
