The Boys ended on a high note, but action shows like The Shield, Justified, Black Sails, and Banshee have even better series finales.
The Boys went out the way that it lived: loud, bloody, and utterly uncompromising. The pretty much perfect series finale delivered us a dead Homelander, a broken (and dead) Butcher, and a team scattered to the wind — a bleak but necessary conclusion to a series that never truly believed in happy endings. Despite its gut-punching audacity, the show's finale left many viewers feeling hollow, as endings tend to.
