what happens
The world is on the brink. Victoria Neuman is closer than ever to the Oval Office and under Homelander's muscly thumb as he consolidates his power. Butcher, with only months to live, has lost Becca's son, and his job as The Boys' leader. The rest of the team are fed up with his lies. With the stakes higher than ever, they must find a way to work together and save the world before it's too late.

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

“moments I've had with my dementia-stricken father - including telling me he was looking for his son (me), and the brief moments of terrified clarity in a sea of confusion and fear - to be put on film and masterfully acted by Simon Pegg”
