    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Gen V' is lauded for its dark humor, creative action, and strong performances, blending teen drama with superhero action and exploring themes like identity and power dynamics. However, criticisms include uneven tone, predictable plot, and limited worldbuilding compared to 'The Boys'. Characters, though talented, don't match the original series' engagement. The show's reliance on gore and crude humor is seen as less effective.

    The boys for college crowd

    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.

    A perfect spin off

    This show is a perfect introduction for season 4 The Boys. It takes it time to make great character development and it's a real must watch for a fan of the boys.

    I really enjoyed watching this show and I can't wait for season 2. If you liked the boys you will certainly like Gen V. The end of this season is perfect and annonce a solid season 4.

    It adds a very interesting new element to the boys universe and they needed it, the lasts seasons were kind of repetitive, with the same intrigue that doesn't evolve that much and I was worried season 4 would be the same. I can tell with this final that it will be totally different and new.

    Entertaining.

    This review was made after watching Season 1.

    Good news, the show will have a second season 2. Sad news, sadly, one of the main actors passed away at 27. He was my favourite character in the series, I wish his family well, and I'm sure he made it to Heaven.

    Ok let's review the show now. Is there gore? Yes. Is there nudity? Yes. Are there cool superpowers? Yes. That checks it for most of The Boys fans, but this series has more. Many current topics are tackled like eating disorders, self harm, parents acceptance and social media. The cg is good, the sets are good, and the acting is great. You really should give it a try.

    How to do things well in a successful franchise.

    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.

    I cannot wait for more from this Universe.

    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.

    • Goofs
      Little Cricket's shrinking and growing abilities make no scientific sense but they are also not even consistent within the show's universe. For example, her clothes shrink along with her body as long as she is wearing them when shrinking, and grow back to normal size with her, but they fail to grow when she is "supersizing" from normal size.
