Gen V is a worthy addition to The Boys universe.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Boys' first live-action spin-off, Gen V, is a welcome addition to Garth Ennis and Seth Rogen's co-production. The cast is full of fresh faces, except for the incomparable Clancy Brown . The usual gore, drugs, and dick jokes are still a staple of the franchise, and no punches are pulled just because the cast is younger.
Gen V season 1 is more than competent and balanced. It's also more grounded than the outrageous plot lines of its predecessor. Sinclair and Perdomo quickly become the focus of the A-plot and are great leads. Simply put, Gen V is Riverdale meets The Boys and it works. Their version of Homelander is Golden Boy and the show cleverly makes a point to not make him the focus of the show.
The characters in Gen V have a great dynamic and bounce off each other in a way television audiences should love. The plot is straightforward in a way that fits the subject. The main drawback of the show is that the superpowers themselves are not very interesting. Multiple students just have super strength or invulnerability.
