Gen V

It is not easy to find a Spin off of a successful series that knows how to live up to it. Much less that it surpasses it in some aspects. This is precisely what happens with Gen V.

Spiritually it's like watching The Boys but it also feels different considering the setting in which it takes place.

An explosive first chapter and a plot that develops very well.

With fair and necessary cameos, with the gore and risqué scenes that the franchise has already accustomed us to.

What has been achieved with that universe is not simple and I am grateful that it is already known when and how the mother series will end.

I really liked the characters of Marie and Jordan, as well as Andre (it is a shame that the actor died) although we still don't know how his story will be carried out.

As season 4 of The Boys progresses, we will see how the events of Gen V will connect and perhaps the key to defeating Homelander.

A must for fans and followers.

Gen V is every bit as good as I hoped it would be. This is a spin-off of the incredible series The Boys and much like that series this is a show for adults. Gen V tells the story of a premier college for superheroes called Godolkin University. The students there are looking to join the elite superhero teams across America. We get to see these young supes as they learn to become both superheroes and adults. Obviously, not everyone there is a good guy, there are also villains and this show turns very bloody very quickly. There are also plenty of cameos from the The Boys that pop up in this too. I'm so glad that they are expanding this universe and hope they do even more spin-offs. If you like The Boys I promise that you'll like this too.

Gen V is basically The Boys but for the college crowd, and it's WILD. Think superheroes, but with all the messy, chaotic, and straight-up disturbing stuff you'd expect from this universe. The cast is lit, with Marie, the main girl, pulling no punches-literally. There's blood, superpowers, and drama like Euphoria on steroids. It's dark, funny, and lowkey disturbing in the best way. The way it dives into trauma, mental health, and power dynamics while still giving us epic fight scenes? Yeah, it hits different. If you're into twisted superhero shows where the characters are all kinds of messed up, Gen V is your new obsession.

Events here take place between S3 and S4 of The Boys.

First thing I noticed and admired was the 2 strip coloring, It was visually appealing here and I forgot to mention it when talking about the boys.

The college setting worked so well and the episodes also kept me on my screen from start to finish.

I really enjoyed the diversity between the students and characters, their different abilities as well as their own personal issues. They were all unique in their own way but Cate, holyyy she was ao iconic, kind if like Carla in Elite. I feel she is going to turn out like Homelander but not in an annoying way plus her voice is also captivating.

Victoria and Ashley slayed in their Cameo appearances and it was not suprising at this point because I expected them to.

Marie is a strong and great character but one of the few things I did not like throughout the show was the idea of her trying to prove younger sister wrong each time it was brought up I felt as to fast forward.

At the final episode, we saw how Vought does what they always do, I can't wait to see how things turn out but In general, the boys universe is so good, unique and very different from other fiction or superhero shows to me. I just love it so much and cannot wait for more including the crossovers.

9.3/10.

As a big fan of The Boys I've been looking forward to Gen V ever since I first heard about it. Then after seeing the trailers my excitement grew even more. After finishing the first season I can absolutely say that without a doubt Gen V has not only met my expectations but has exceeded them in every way. It's as fast paced and entertaining as the The Boys series. Even though you'd probably enjoy this more if you've seen the The Boys, you don't have to have seen them to like this. The action scenes are as good as anything I've seen on tv, as exciting and as ridiculous as they are in The Boys. This spin-off actually connects to the original in major ways. You need to watch this so you can follow the story better in the newest season of The Boys. I can't stop watching this and really hope they plan on doing several seasons of this because I'm hooked.
