Rotten Tomatoes audience ratings tend to change rapidly, hence the Rotten label can vanish with time. It is a negative indicator, though, for a performance that has regularly delighted spectators as well as critics. Given the show's audience score drop since season 2 debuted, the poor ratings for The Boys Season 4 raise alarming signals. Season 1 scored 90%; season 2 scored 83%; season three dropped sharply with 75%; and season four is absolutely rotten. View the table below to see the clear fall:

While some Rotten Tomatoes comments say the show has grown overly political, others argue the characters have grown inconsistent and boring. While some mention no gripe save that the show is worse than it was before, many cite the writing as evidence of the decline in quality of the show. Others, nonetheless, find Frenchie's romantic advancements in Season 4 to be a major issue as his partner had never shown on the show before this season. Some critics never give any explanation for their negative assessments at all.
Sadly, depending just on The Boys' Audience Score could be a bad plan. The series could be suffering from a review-bombing effort, just as many other shows before it. Like The Boys, The Last of Us notoriously had a major review-bombing campaign following deviations from the original content to incorporate LGBT characters. It also veers somewhat more heavily into politics, which might cause some resentment. Given so many viewers failing to provide explanations for their disappointment, there is cause to suspect review-bombing may be the cause of the show's extreme drop.
Although the fourth season of The Boys opened to tremendous excitement, its viewers have not show much affection for it. Featuring Antony Starr, Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, and Erin Moriarty, the play examines the fallout from unscrupulous businesses and corporate superheroes. Based on a comic book by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, it deviates greatly from the original series yet Starting on June 12, Season 4 introduces five new supes with powers capable of drastically altering the course of the program.
Although The Boys had a great beginning, viewers have been less positive with every following season. On Rotten Tomatoes, the popularity of the show has been falling among regular viewers; but, audience favorability has dropped shockingly in season 4. Season 4 is the first in show history to get a Rotten rating, with a 59% Audience Score at the time of writing. With a 95% score, critics remain positive; but, considering past success, the public reaction is unexpected.
Eric Kripke created The Boys as a superhero/dark comic book satire series using the same-named comic book line. The show is set in a "what-if" universe honoring superheroes as gods or celebrities with little repercussions for their actions. One squad of vigilantes under the guidance of a vengeance-obsessed man named Billy Butcher will fight back against these super-charged "heroes," therefore exposing them for what they are.
The sitcom has become beloved by audiences, which fuels great enthusiasm about the regular caustic comedy and storyline shocks across every season. The Boys has also got lot of favorable reviews. The show's capacity to artistically address issues of corruption, power, and the human condition among other factors explains its great popularity.
Perfect director Michael Mohan says he agrees about a viewer concern. Originally shown in theatres earlier this year, the horror film stars Sydney Sweeney as Cecilia, a young nun who joins an apparently beautiful Italian monastery only to find that something horrible is underfoot. Critics gave almost perfect ratings for Immaculate, with Sweeney's performance singled out as a main highlight.
Now, after Immaculate's digital distribution, Mohan answers a user on X, formerly Twitter, complaining about the way the movie is showing some VOD services. The user in issue describes the film as "comically dark" and notes he "can barely make out what's happening on screen." Look at Mohan's response down below:
"I know, man," Mohan writes. "This was not done on purpose either. The compression specs of every platform are beyond our influence. After looking at them all, iTunes is the closest to what we wanted/brighter than the others; it's a true issue that really upsets me."
