The Boys season 5 is in full swing and while there have been some huge moments so far, online chatter has brought in several complaints. Some viewers have branded several episodes “filler”, pointing out that not a great deal happens in terms of the plot moving forward.
Most notably, season 5 episode 4 was called out for “leading nowhere” by disgruntled fans, with its focus on an unsuccessful trip to Fort Harmony to find V-One. Season 5 episode 5 then honed in on characters more acutely with a split perspective narrative, showcasing more about Firecracker and Black Noir.

Kripke went on to say that it never crossed his mind that these episodes would be considered “filler” and thinks it could be a product of the weekly release schedule. He continued: “At no point during the writing of it was I like, ‘Oh yeah, we’re making filler episodes. So who cares?’ We all thought at the time we’re really getting these important character details. We have something like 14 characters, maybe 15. And I owe it to all of them – in that television is the character business – I owe it to all of them to flesh them out and humanize them and their stories.”
