The series finale of \u201cThe Boys\u201d is about to be unleashed, the end to a divisive final season that has caused much debate about the show\u2019s direction in its back half.<\/p>\n

But unlike the recent \u201cDaredevil: Born Again,\u201d people are actually watching the series in droves.<\/p>\n

Amazon is reporting that the season has reached 57 million viewers per episode globally \u2013 the highest yet for the series, despite only five weeks of data.<\/p>\n

The season also reportedly ranks among the Top 10 most-viewed seasons of any Prime Video original series, and gave them the largest three-week ratings surge of any show or movie.<\/p>\n

Showrunner Eric Kripke recently told THR<\/a> that the ratings reassured him after all the online chatter in recent weeks:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve gone through a journey when I first started to read everything \u2014 like on social media or online \u2014 and it starts to feel like that\u2019s the whole universe, and it feels scary, and you have a pit in your stomach. So then [you see the ratings and] you\u2019re like, \u2018Oh, obviously, how many times do I have to relearn the lesson that the online world is not the actual world?\u2019 [The online reaction is] a fraction of very loud, opinionated people, and God love them. They\u2019re welcome to have that opinion. But it\u2019s actually not reflecting what\u2019s happening out in the world. And once I saw [the numbers], I calmed right down.\u201d<\/p>\n

The finale clocks in at just over an hour and sets the stage for the prequel series \u201cVought Rising\u201d which will premiere next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amazon The series finale of \u201cThe Boys\u201d is about to be unleashed, the end to a divisive final…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":682659,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[64,63,142132,134,427],"class_list":["post-682658","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-bigslider","tag-entertainment","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/682658","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=682658"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/682658\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/682659"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=682658"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=682658"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=682658"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
