The Boys: Every Episode Ranked Worst To Best
11. Good For The Soul (Season 1, Episode 5)
Despite only running for 16 episode thus far, it's incredible to think just much the writers have managed to fit in without forcing things or tripping over themselves. In Good For the Soul, The Boys head to the Believe Expo so they can get in contact with superhero preacher Ezekiel and learn about Compound V.
Not only is Good for the Soul a great character piece, allowing Starlight to stand up against the corporate machine and question her faith in very public fashion, it also comes with one of the show's biggest twists - that superheroes aren't born, but made in a lab using Compound V.
A game-changer of the highest order, the episode comes complete with Hughie admitting to Starlight his girlfriend just died and the iconic scene in which Butcher uses a baby as a laser gun. The reason it ranks here isn't because of any major flaws, but because the rest of the show is at such a high calibre.
