The boys season 4: a return that not everyone likes
Two years after an explosive season 3, The boys is finally back with new episodes, released online on Prime Video from June 13th. The streaming platform offered its subscribers the first three episodes of season 4, and then moved on to the classic broadcast of one episode per week. Enough to get an idea of the rest of Butcher’s adventures, always eager to take down Homelander and the “superheroes” who accompany him. Or more generally Vaught, the company behind it all.

As we explained to you in our opinion at the beginning of the season, Eric Kripke decided to put more emphasis political themes, thus putting aside the fun and irreverent aspect a little. That doesn’t mean this new chapter won’t still contain some great crazy, bloody, or downright crazy moments. From what we have seen of subsequent episodes, we can confirm some great moments imagined by the writers of The boys – in particular a scene involving chickens and sheep…
But while The boys echoes more than ever the current events in the United States, characterized by a populist and conspiracist camp, this approach is clearly not liked part of the public. For the moment, season 4 shows the worst rating of the series Rotten tomatoes. At least, on the public side. If the first three seasons currently have 75%, 83% and 75% positive opinions, this fourth season currently only has 50%. It seems that until now Americans didn’t quite understand what the show was really about. Because on the press side the opinions remain very positive (95%).
The 5 most watched seasons after 4 days
Despite this negative feedback, Prime Video shouldn’t worry too much given the audience scores for this season 4. As reported Expiration, the streaming service’s numbers are up compared to the previous season. In the first four days after the show launched, the total number of viewers increased increased by 21%. This allowed season 4 to be positioned The boys In the top 5 of the most watched seasons on Prime Video in the first four days. Better yet, considering only the new seasons, this is the second highest rating in the first few days, just behind Season 2 of Reacher.
The advantage for Prime Video is this 60% of the public The boys it would be outside the United States. Which is why the negative opinions of the American public are not so representative of the success of the series. In any case, the streaming service should be reassured for the future given that a season 5 is already planned, which will be the last. At the same time, a season 2 of the spin-off Gen V has been ordered and a new spin-off series is currently in development.
The boys will continue on Prime Video.
