Summary

IN THIS HOUSE, WE BELIEVE IN HOMELANDER!

Our Take

This one leans hard into Homelander’s meltdown, and Antony Sellers… sorry, Antony Starr makes the paranoia genuinely uncomfortable to watch. The Vought PR subplot drags in spots and some of the satire feels recycled from earlier seasons, but the last ten minutes land with real menace. A solid middle-tier hour that’s worth your time if you’re already invested.
