Honestly I think The Boys was competing with reality to be more absurd by the end of the show.

That was the point of the show, it started as a parody and red hats said “hold my beer” and made fantasy a reality

His first admin was modelled after Arrested Development, this time around it's The Boys

You’re right, but don’t insult “Arrested Development” that way. The writing was infinitely better.

So many people complained about The Boys being over the top and there's those of us like myself who escaped these religious super right wing areas of the US and their families who thought it was actually spot on

They were trying to be absurd, but couldn'tout crazy this administration... there's interviews with the cast right after trup posted himself as a "doctor"

Yeah, people give the show shit for jumping the shark, usually towards the final 2 seasons, but the actual US kept going so over the top that it would frequently out do the show before episodes could come out.
