I'm done

I get it, most definitely

I'm very happy with where the series has landed.

It's perfectly acceptable to me that their world will never be rid of supes; Pandora's box is opened. Life will have to go on with both supes and compound V out of the bag.

But the character arcs for ALL the main characters have wound up nicely. Huey's stronger and wiser without becoming another Butcher. Butcher himself has learned to come to terms with supes like Starlight, Kimiko and his wife's son. "The Boys" are amicably dissolved as unnecessary. Homelander is all alone -- not sufficient punishment for his sins but it's pretty harsh regardless and leaves him in a bad place as his last scene shows. And Starlight has become tougher without sacrificing all of her basic decency.

I wish more story-arc shows would end their seasons like this. "Dexter" ran for eight seasons with, I think, only two cliffhanger endings. If the story's strong enough and popular enough, you don't need a cliffhanger to bring viewers back.

Then again, I realize my last point is somewhat invalidated by the OP's position in this very thread.

Oh well, I for one WILL keep watching. All these streaming series have to end at some point anyway, because of economics. Each season will cost more while losing viewers/subscribers, until they have to pull the plug no matter how good the show. And that's fine by me.

The fact that he killed his own mother is enough to mess him up regardless of his upbringing before or after than incident.

Incidentally, it seemed to me that Stormfront killed the mother not the boy, so I didn't understand why Butcher was so mad at him.
