Just binged the whole season this past week.

Season 1, I was really surprised by how much I liked it. Season 2, also great, made me think Amazon was killing it with their super shows, this the tick invincible...

But then season 3... dropped the ball a bit. It's weird, it simultaneously feels like they're so obviously dragging it out, but also moving too quickly for just a meager 8 episodes. This and Invincible are the kind of shows where 8 episodes are just not nearly enough to flesh out and develop everything. There were so many plot lines that they didn't get into. They didn't do anything with Nueman's whole reveal of being a head popper. The orphanage of supers didn't amount to anything. They never showed Ryan and Mallory again after Butcher acts dickish towards him until Homelander finds him at the end of the season and Ryan (from loneliness I assume) is fine with going back with Homelander.

The Black Noir reveal was very anticlimactic. I don't know why they built him up so much if his whole story was just that he was an old member of a previous superhero team. Really that's it? The Boys Diabolical had a better air of mystery than that.
