Comparative Analysis of Season 4 of *The Boys* Against Earlier Seasons
With an 81% Rotten Tomatoes score, Season 4 of *The Boys* ranks lowest among all the seasons thus far. With an almost perfect 98% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 75% acceptance rating among viewers, *The Boys* Season 3 boasts a considerably higher score than this one. But the fact that an 81% is the lowest score the show has ever received shows *The Boys*' general excellence. Season 4 also offers the opportunity to really connect with people as viewer ratings have not always represented their opinions.
The standard set by Season 3 of *The Boys* is so high that the next season will find difficultly topping it. Though with considerably more style, Season 3 included everything that other seasons of *The Boys* had—elaborate (and provocative) set pieces, amazing visual effects, and crazy Homelander scenes. With several fantastic character arcs including Hughie and Butcher's flirtation with Compound V and Starlight and Homelander's false relationship, which somewhat leads to Annie's resignation, Season 3 was by far the most neatly structured and best-written season.
The Boys Season 4 Rotten Tomatoes Score Starts with a Series Low (But It's Still Fresh)
Though it is still generally positive, Season 4 of *The Boys* has had its first reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and boasts the lowest score the series has ever gotten. Based on Supernatural creator Eric Kripke, *The Boys* has been delving into the universe of Compound V and the all-powerful heroes and villains it generates since 2019. With the narrative of Homelander, Billy Butcher, Hughie Campbell, and the rest of the crew, Season 4 of *The Boys* will premiere on June 13. Additionally under renewal is Season 5 of *The Boys*, which was just reported to be the last season of the Prime Video run.
Rotten Tomatoes indicate that first reviews from critics for Season 4 of *The Boys* have been mixed. Based on 31 reviews, *The Boys* Season 4 has an 81% Rotten Tomatoes score as of this writing; this will alter since it is based on early reviews. Season 4 of *The Boys* so lacks a viewer score as yet.
The Boys: A Viewable Program
Eric Kripke created the Superhero/dark comedic satire series The Boys based on the same-named comic book franchise. The show takes place in a "what-if" universe where gods who get away with their behavior are praised as celebrities. To reveal them for what they truly are, a crew of vigilantes under the direction of a vindictive man called Billy Butcher will counter these super-charged "heroes".
Positive criticism for the show has come in plenty. The program's ability to creatively address problems of power, corruption, and the human condition is among the several factors contributing to its great popularity. Viewers have also been really excited about The Boys.

A Peep into The Boys' Future
It's great to learn *The Boys* will enjoy a fifth season. It also suggests, though, that a major character death previously hinted at in season 3 has now been discounted. For *The Boys* season 4 to approach the level of reception season 3 got is a challenge. If not better, the audience will hopefully see the season as well as the critics, so guaranteeing strong audience numbers for season five. With just two seasons left, maybe the show will wrap on a positive note.
The Boys have become somewhat well-known and attracted a sizable following. The program's engaging and interesting characters as well as its imaginative and amusing plots helped it to attract its committed viewers.
