"The Boys" Season 3 is now on your streaming watch list. Sure, you may have planned to stream Obi-Wan, finish watching Stranger Things Volume 1 of 4, or go outside, but Prime Video's gang of supers, super-haters, and other weirdos are here to make you feel all kinds of creepy. They're back.

I just binge-watched all eight episodes of "The Boys" Season 3. I'll write this review without spoilers, but I can say that this is the most shocking season to date for this already eyebrow-raising show. Yes, as I will explain in my review of "The Boys" Season 3, there are still plenty of tricks in this show that ended its second season with a psychic head exploding.

And the return of "The Boys" is a healthy reminder of why Prime Video is one of the best streaming services: while it may not be delivering a huge amount of new shows like Netflix, "The Boys" is still a sign that this season It remains super strong without.

Continuing from the previous season, "The Boys" biggest problem is the rehabilitation of Homelander (Antony Starr), the sick and twisted superhero who heads the super team known as "The Seven." In the previous season, it became public knowledge that Homelander was dating Stormfront (Aya Cash), who turned out to be Miss Third Reich 1945 in a flimsy disguise.

And now his dirty laundry is out in the open and Homelander is on a big PR quest, which does not start well. But as "The Boys" becomes very topical throughout the season, he learns all about having his own brand.

From angry rallies to screeds about the mainstream media, Homelander's storyline may seem a bit awkward to some, but "The Boys" doesn't seem to mind. In many cases, discomfort is what matters.

From Homelander's relationship with his son to his awkward presence on camera when interviewed at the premiere of Dawn of the Seven, the star has been given plenty of meat to chew on this season.

Just in the first episode of "The Boys" Season 3, the series does its best to shock you. I won't spoil it here, but have you ever heard the theory that one of the ways the Avengers kill Thanos is for Ant-Man to shrink, enter Thanos' back, and then expand? Well, I think someone in "The Boys" heard that line and said, "It's not gross enough, let's go wilder."

In the same episode, there is a grotesque deformity and a ghoulishly fatal wound in a back alley. It's a great way to make you wonder what's going to happen next, with The Boys saying, "We're just getting started."

"The Boys" gets too close to the sun when it comes to blood and guts, but even then, the cast's reactions to the guts provide the basis for moving the series away from Sharknado.

One of the problems I had with the first two seasons of "The Boys" was that it leaned too much on shock value and often felt like the characters were not developed enough. But in these eight hours, audiences will gain a stronger connection to many (but not all) of the Supers we've seen over the years.

For me, it was one character I expected to see more of and many I did not expect to see more humanized. My favorite character this season was Laz Alonso, who plays Mother's Milk (aka M.M., Marvin T. Milk). We've seen his tricks before, but this season has added depth to his character and backstory, making him both engaging and necessary. While those around him are tempted to lower their ethical standards, M.M. becomes the centerpiece of "The Boys."

Also, through various means, the backstory of who Billy Butcher is, why Homelander is so strange, and the dark noir backstory is surprisingly revealing. But the season's other big twist came in the A-Train (Jesse T. Usher). Its storyline takes a turn from farce to something powerful over the course of the season.

Starlight also has a fantastic story this season, having gained more power in The Seven. And thankfully, The Boys doesn't let her move on to a predictable plot that demands something of her and corrupts her. If the previous season reeked of power struggles in the Vault, "The Boys" Season 3 went full "Game of Thrones" on us. [Especially if it means more of Giancarlo Esposito as Stan Edgar. Esposito is currently enjoying super levels of activity on some of the best shows on television (he also plays Gus Fring in "Better Call Saul" and Moff Gideon in "The Mandalorian"), and all of his scenes are fun.

Jensen Ackles, best known for his perpetual portrayal of good guy Dean Winchester in "Supernatural," fits right in as Soldier Boy, basically a satirical take on Captain America. Again, no spoilers here, but it's safe to say that the Soldier Boy here is not the Dean that fans have seen for years.

This is the creative casting and work of Eric Kripki, the showrunner behind "Supernatural." One wonders how long Kripki has been planning this casting. Just as [Stranger Things 4] came to Netflix, The Boys came at a particularly interesting moment for Prime Video. The streaming service, which many people get as an Amazon Prime membership benefit, has been a bit slower than other services to roll out new seasons of blockbusters.

As I reported in this review of "The Boys" Season 3, this season has been very good, and it's worth noting that I could praise it without mentioning Jack Quaid's solid performance as Huey Campbell this season. Talking about his arc would be too far into the spoiler zone, so I thought I'd save that for my next piece on this show.

For now, just know that "The Boys" Season 3 is one of the best shows you can watch right now.
