The Boys Season 5’s Early Rotten Tomatoes Score Continues a 6-Year Streak (& Is a Good Sign for the Ending)

The first reactions to Season 5 of The Boys are positive, continuing the show’s six-year run of success and suggesting a strong ending for the Prime Video series. The Boys, which premiered in 2019, quickly stood out for its unique and challenging take on the superhero genre. Each season has become more ambitious, and Season 5 will finally wrap up the story. The trailer confirms the final episodes will be action-packed, and early reviews seem to agree.

Okay, so I’m really excited – Season 5 of The Boys drops on April 8th, and the early reviews are amazing. Right now, it’s sitting at 96% on Rotten Tomatoes, which suggests they’re really sticking the landing with this final season. And get this – since Season 2 back in 2020, every season has scored 90% or higher with critics! That’s a pretty incredible run for a show, and it definitely has me hyped to see how it all ends.

It’s good to see the new episodes are keeping up the quality of previous seasons. With the way Season 4 of The Boys ended on such a dark note, the stakes are incredibly high for the finale. Early reactions suggest that the team’s final battle against Homelander will be satisfying.

Why The Boys Season 5’s RT Score Is So Impressive – What Critics Are Saying

Early reviews for Season 5 of The Boys suggest it’s the show’s most intense season yet. Critics like Peter Gray at The AU Review say the new episodes amplify everything fans love about the series. Others describe the upcoming season as shocking, emotionally powerful, and relevant to current events. Even after four seasons of wild storylines, Inverse‘s Dais Johnston notes the show continues to surprise and feel innovative.

Fans worried The Boys might be losing steam can rest easy. Problems with the speed of storytelling in Seasons 3 and 4 appear to be resolved. Nate Richard from Collider calls the ending a “satisfying conclusion to Kripke’s bold superhero story,” even though the plot had started to feel drawn out. Most reviewers agree it’s a strong finale, offering insightful commentary and consistently surprising twists.

The Boys Season 5 premieres with two episodes on Prime Video on April 8 at 12 a.m. PT/3 a.m. ET.
