I've really enjoyed all 3 seasons so far. It's very good.
Although this episode was the first in which I hoped they had a decent finish in mind. Obviously they're somewhat following the story of the comic but have gone off piste in several areas. I would hate it to become one of these lingering shows where the writing becomes an exercise in prolonging the gravy train, rather than telling the good story. The latest episode felt like it opened up another avenue, hopefully that goes somewhere definitively.

....utter s
t. My fears come true, just continuing the gravy train rather than putting together any satisfactory ending.It was all very well produced and filmed of course, but the story was a disaster. The entire build up of the last 3 seasons has all been undone in my view. Not one character in that finale had a consistent motivation. The Soldier Boy stuff was pointless. The Black Noir stuff was pointless. Starlight made thoroughly unlikable over recent episodes. Hughie was in the episode for some reason. All that guff about novichok completely pointless. Fight scenes gimped because of moronic appeals to emotion. Here's an idea Butcher - if you don't want Becca's son to be killed, perhaps just move him or Homelander?
Big moment, Starlight can fly and get supercharged. Better drag that out for her big moment of........mildly pushing Soldier Boy over.
Maeve somehow survives the cataclismic Soldier Boy explosion (which by the way is the same 'weapon' that they're trying to kill Homelander with), so that is completely pointless as well.
I don't think I've ever seen a show which has so quickly plummeted in quality. And all obviously to manufacture something to keep the money coming in.
