After Initially Positive Reactions, Fans Are Going Wild Over ‘The Boys’ Season 4 Finale

The Boys, one of the world’s most popular superhero series, concluded its fourth season with a bang after eight episodes. Although initial reactions were lukewarm, the series gained momentum, earning a Certified Fresh rating and high viewership numbers. However, some fans have been review-bombing the season due to its increased political undertone, which didn’t seem to faze the showrunners.

On July 18, 2024, The Boys released the Season 4 finale titled “Season Four Finale” (originally named “Assassination Run”—check out our special report for the story behind the title change). Overall, the show ended on a high note, and the chaotic finale perfectly encapsulated the season’s turmoil.
