Gen V

A spin off set in the most incredibly thought through universe of recent times. Sounds too good to be true but they pulled it off in spectacular fashion. Looking at the Boys' universe from the lens of teenage superheroes as they realize what being a superhero means in the real world is refreshing.

The cast is good, although not at the level of The Boys but good enough. Jaz Sinclair (as Marie) in the lead is good, supported by Lizzie Broadway (as Emma), Chance Perdomo (as Polarity), London Thor (as Jordan Li) and others are also good.

The plot surprisingly ties in very well to the story of the main series and the cameos of the main show are extremely rewarding.

Good and entertaining to watch. Not a must though for the Boys universe.

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.

SEASON 1 (4.5/5)

A blast of a TV show that doesn't let his original source, The Boys, overshadow. Gen V keeps most of the debauchery and violence from The Boys and turns it into a mystery show and a teen drama. All the characters get a good development through the show with surprising twists and turns.

Gen V tackles a lot of young adults' issues with interesting (but not so subtle) arguments but still keeps the provocation. Yes, it is respectful of the subjects it talks about but that doesn't stop the show from being as immature and punchy as it wants.

Also, I don't think have seen this many p*n*s in one show!

Oh gosh, what should I say? This series is a true storm. Actually, I have already lost enthusiasm for both MCU and DCEU and I need something new. To say that The Boys series is also a superhero series but is presented from a new perspective. I saw this vision in Gen V also. If I had to choose between The Boys season 1 and Gen V season 1, I would choose Gen V, because it is so classy! From the back stories of the characters to its original story, from action to thriller, from sex to suspense and from powers to madness everything is there in it.

What should I say about the story, the insanity is the same as in The Boys s1 or is a little more than that. The story starts after the events of The Boys s3, from a God U School, which is a school of Supes, where Supes who will emerge in the future are raised, who will go on to become a part of Team 7 and at worst take place of Homelander. But below this school there is a secret facility named WOODS where some of the most powerful and most uncontrollable supes are not only being held but are being experimented upon, and it is here that they are tortured. Marie Monroe, who is a supe, whose powers awakened during her first period, after which she killed her parents. Marie comes to God U with a dream of overcoming her past and becoming a great superhero, she makes friends with some famous supes in school, after running away from school, she goes to a late night pub with them, where Andre one of the famous Sups accidentally harmed a non-supe and Marie uses her powers to save her. Next day she is expelled from school so that the famous supes can be saved from charges. When Marie tries to talk to the principal, one of the famous supes Luke has killed the principal and then he tries to kill Marie, after being confronted by his fellow supes Jorden and Andre he regains consciousness then commits suicide. Vaught tries to suppress the matter and Marie gets free credit for stopping Luke. In meanwhile, all of Luke's friends try to solve the mystery of his mysterious suicide. Whether Marie herself supports them or not, what challenges she has to face in the future for that you will have to watch this show.

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.
