Is The Boys in trouble? The Rotten Tomatoes score for season 4 has finally hit the net, but comes with a brand new low for the beloved Amazon series.
The Boys has been a critical darling ever since it first released. The series has been praised for giving fans a much needed deconstruction of superheroes in a time where they seemed to be dominating popular culture. With season 4 finally out, all eyes have been on Rotten Tomatoes to see if the franchise can continue its streak.
There’s good and bad news for The Boys fans. On the good side, season 4 is certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. At the time of writing, the critic score sits at a 95%, making it the second lowest score the series has achieved, but still exceptionally good. However, the series hits a rotten note with fans, sitting at a dismal 52%.
The Controveries Of The Boys Season 4
The Boys has always struggled with being a political allegory. The series has been far from subtle in stating where it stands on controversial issues. However, season 4 has hit particularly close to home to many given recent trials and media circuits. This has left many who turned a blind eye to the political side of the show to become enraged at the now unabashed social commentary.
Luckily, the follies of The Boys season 4 seem entirely up to taste. Most negative reviews point to specific choices the creative team made with the series, not how those choices were executed. The beloved series seems on track to finish its run with an impressive critical streak. Let’s just hope it doesn’t fumble the bag.
