Gen V

Solid Spin-Off with interesting superpowers, battles and character relationships. It's a pity that it was discontinued.

At it peak it's better than The Boys. Sadly there are few peaks. Most of it is the edgy superpower slop that they're trying to parody, the show ends up being a parody of itself much too often.

I just finished the second season - i loved the tension, how focused the plot felt with godolkin as a framing device, and i did not at all mind how "visible" the twist was - it was hidden enough from our main characters so it was tense in the sense that we got to watch them figure it out. Amazing acting performances from Marie and her sister, Ethan slater as a freak (more of this), and also Doug/Cipher - i love hamish linklater in this, he was so charismatic and really sold how invested he was. - Full Review

Gen V returns with the same energy and audacity as its first season.

S1: 7/10, S2: 7/10

Misses the magic from the Boys. Tries to imitate it, but the added teenage drama doesn't mix as well with the Boys ingredients. It feels a bit too much like a National Lampoon movie at times. And the plot is way too predictable. The powers aren't as interesting. And the social commentary is so heavy handed, not clever. The virus tie in to the Boys universe also feels lazy.

Bad exaggerated parody of an already shitty show

Felt like it was written by AI.
