Giancarlo Esposito and Claudia Doumit end up being sidelined for the most part, a disappointment after season 2 set the stage for them to be so important to the show. That’s not to say they’re total non-factors, but The Boys fails to capitalise on their potential, something we can't help but wonder might be down to setting the story a year after that big cliffhanger. Still, with so much focus on Billy’s mission, Hughie’s relationship with Starlight, Mother’s Milk’s hatred of Supes, Frenchie and The Female’s budding romance, and the weird inner workings of The Seven, there’s only so much story to go around. That’s good and bad, with some subplots (The Deep’s weird romance) feeling like an annoying distraction and others not serviced in the way they deserve (A-Train’s run-in with a blatantly racist vigilante).
