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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Plot

From the world of "The Boys" comes "Gen V," which explores the first generation of superheroes to know that their super powers are from Compound V. These heroes put their physical and moral boundaries to the test competing for the school's top ranking.

Cast

Mostly unknown to me, but several were memorable due to fantastic performances including Jaz Sinclair, Lizze Broadway and London Thor. A few of the Boys cast momentarily jump over and veteran Sean Patrick Thomas was a welcome sight.

Verdict

I like The Boys, I think it's one of the better shows of the last few years partially due to the no holding back, hyper violence and it just being something different and that's really needed right now. I was skeptical about a spinoff as they tend to be mere shadows of what came before but Gen V actually managed to get and keep my attention throughout.

Is it laden with teen angst? Well yeah, but that was never in question and was always going to be a major factor here. But the teen drama crossed with the Boys adult material, it works fantastically.

Interestingly co-written by Seth Rogan and with a mostly unknown cast I have to say everyone did a great job, most of the cast are brilliant here and that's what more shows need! I want to see a character, not have that ruined by my seeing a familiar face all the time. Sinclair, Broadway and Thor were all great and thorough scene stealers.

The plot is uninspired but competently handled so you can get past that and it parallels The Boys perfectly and makes for a nice companion piece which if handled correctly could intertwine incredibly.

I love The Boys, I like Gen V, I'm very excited where this all could lead.

Rants

In a world that hates the young, inclusivity is the devil and diversity is "Woke" I'm surprised that Gen V has been met as well as it has. The Boys got hit with all those accusations and I'd argue Gen V is even more so, I'm resisting the urge for a change to jump to the 1/10 reviews as I know what I'll see. Closed mindedness, the W word on a loop, an ocean of misogyny and casual racism. What time to be alive, rampant tribalism at it's most primal.

The Good

Some great cast members Solid connections to The Boys Engaging stuff Some action packed and very funny moments

The Bad

A couple of weak links among the cast Plot could have been stronger.

Gen V" is a captivating spin-off of "The Boys," showcasing the chaotic lives of young superheroes at Vought University. The series brilliantly combines dark humor, intense action, and sharp social commentary, exploring themes like identity and societal pressures. Standout performances, particularly from Jaz Sinclair, elevate the narrative, making it both entertaining and thought-provoking. The production quality is impressive, with creative action sequences and a vibrant soundtrack that enhances the viewing experience. While it may not fully escape predictable tropes, "Gen V" is a binge-worthy addition to the franchise that fans won't want to miss. Truly great.

The Boys show is amazing. Excellent casting along with compelling storylines and gruesome details. It has it all. This show is a spinoff in the same universe, though it never manages to reach the same heights or interest of The Boys.

If you've seen one modern teenage drama, you've seen them all. Basically it's about actors in their late 20's, playing as 18 years old, tackling the issues of identity, sex, evil senior leadership that is keeping a dark secret and modern diversity and inclusivity.

The show tries to make the story more interesting by using gruesome elements form the Boys universe (and that's the only reason that I gave it 6/10), but at its core it's still the same annoying teen drama.

Special effects and gruesome details are at par with "the boys", while acting and storyline is lacking in quality, boring and feel forced.

It still better than most of the superhero movies being released today, as it's not as predictable and stupid as the rest of them, but it's mostly due to "the Boys" universe and not as self sufficient as it might have been.

I hope they'll manage to improve and take it further to the insanely high level of the original show\comics.

This one of the best superhero series ever a double action packed series ,you get to experience the thrill of super powers and also the teenage love drama, hate and envy which comes with it. Also shows the struggles young people are suffering from in this modern times we living in and people get to be in depression a lot,they so much laughter in the series and when you had a bad day you will surely smile when you watch this superhero series.its one super hero series I rate a 10+ star and would never be disappointed and would refer to friends and family without any hesitation at all :) :) :) :)

I'm a little on the fence with this show, it has suberb production quality and great cast. Zero complains about actors and acting overall. Yet some bits of the plot aren't well fleshed out and some lack good reason, as to avoid spoilers any logic behind containment facility location is very questionable.

Cast is full of capable actors and they do get to show off in a good way, although with so many characters each of them were given a little back story and a little side story.

Unfortunately each of those stories weren't given enough time hence they weren't fleshed out well. What's really bad about this, is a fact they attempt to address very serious social issues in those little sub stories. Yet not given enough time, I'm left feeling like writers just didn't care enough about the subject and that is puzzling.

Plenty more examples of that shallow treatment of serious issues. There's a romance involving main character that comes out of nowhere and goes nowhere. I'm puzzled as to why even include them.

I was quite disappointed by conclusion one of the characters got, she tried really hard and was left really hurt by the end of it. Moral to her journey seemed to be quite depressing.

I was quite satisfied with the main plot it had surprising amount of twists and turns, even if dumb on occasion. It's a good watch even if a bit heavy handed with messaging.

It's rare to see good spin-off series and this one was entertaining.

As other 5/6 star reviews have pointed out, you would not watch this IF it were not related to The Boys.

There are many problems that the series creates for itself.

When the writers aim a show at GEN X but fail to understand that an audience has brains, watches better stories on various platforms and really have gone way past gross out moments (e.g visceral, bloody gory kills, unnecessarily gross sexual scenes, mental health treated like a joke etc). It doesn't really provide characters with....humanity. No real grey areas to the characters. Either it's black or white. Oh look what they did to us so I'm gonna go bat **** crazy and kill everyone.

It's stupid.

Whereas The Boys is the same, the end result is a well developed story with well developed characters and motivations. There is empathy within the madness.

In Gen V, they have decided to explore the various aspects of (super)humans that other series don't really go into. In doing so, they simply create cliché plots, with cliché bad guys, good guys, bad women, good women....and that's it.

Characters happen to run into scenes, have time to chat, act woodenly, before fighting.

There is so much better stuff out there that this is only being propped up because of it's links to The Boys.

Watch it. Don't watch it. I don't think you'll learn anything new. It's all really just a Vought money grab.

And because of it's association will probably be no. 1 on Amazon.

If you want to see violence and character development done right.....watch Blue Eye Samurai. Truly does the same job a 100 times better (albeit in Anime form).

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.

It could have been a tighter experience, as its storytelling is somewhat uneven and not always clear on its purpose, but this was still a solid season of television with a lot of flavor. Content collapsed. "Gen V" Season 1 is a thrilling, blood-soaked ride that seamlessly ties into "The Boys" universe.

Gen V is more like The Boys but for the 20's crowd, and it's sick . Think superheroes, but with all the messy, teenage chaos and absolutely disturbing stuff you would expect from this universe. The cast is amazing , with Marie, the main girl, pulling no punches-literally. There's blood, superpowers, and drama like Euphoria on steroids. It's funny, and lowkey terrifying in the best way. The way it focuses on trauma, mental health, and power dynamics while still giving us epic fight scenes? Yeah, it hits exceptional. If you're into twisted superhero shows where the characters are all kinds of messed up, Gen V is your new obsession.

Gen V is basically the boys but for the college crowd and it's wild. Think super heros but with all the messy ,chaotic and straight up disturbing stuff u would expect from this universe .the cast is lit with Marie the main girl pulling more punches more literally. There's blood supper powers and drama on steriods it's dark fun and low key and disturbing in in the best way the way it dives into trauma ,mental health and power dynamics while still giving us epic fight scenes? Yaa it's hits different if u are into twisted super heroes showed were the super heros are and the characters are kinds i.

Gen V is a game-changer! As a huge fan of The Boys, I was excited to dive into this spin-off, and it did not disappoint. The show's unique blend of dark humor, action, and coming-of-age drama is absolute perfection.

The cast is incredibly talented, with standout performances from the entire ensemble. The characters are complex and multi-dimensional, making it easy to become invested in their stories.

The show's themes of identity, power, and morality are thought-provoking and timely. The writing is sharp and clever, with plenty of nods to the original series.

Overall, I'm blown away by Gen V. It's a must-watch for fans of The Boys and anyone looking for a compelling and addictive new series. Don't miss out!"

Gen V, the spin-off of the hit series The Boys, throws us into the lives of hormonal, competitive superheroes-in-training at the prestigious Vought American University.

It's a potent mix of teen drama, superhero action, and The Boys' signature dark humor, but does it live up to its predecessor's legacy?

Gen V delves deeper into the inner workings of Vought, the corporation that creates and exploits superheroes.

We see the sausage-making of superhero creation, the ruthless marketing strategies, and the devastating consequences of their experiments.

The young actors bring their characters to life with genuine charm and vulnerability.

Jaz Sinclair shines as Marie Moreau, a troubled girl with a dark past and a dangerous power.

Gen V doesn't hold back on the violence, and it's often darkly funny. Think exploding body parts, superhero infighting gone wrong, and enough blood to fill a few swimming Pools.

The series tackles relevant themes like teenage anxiety, social media's influence on identity, and the commodification of bodies in the superhero industry. It's not afraid to get under the skin of these complex issues.

The overarching mystery can feel convoluted at times, with predictable twists and turns. You've seen these genre tropes before, and Gen V doesn't subvert them in any meaningful way.

The show sometimes swings wildly between gritty realism and over-the-top silliness.

It can be hard to find its footing tonally, leaving you feeling like you're watching two different shows taped together.

We're mostly confined to the university campus, which can feel constricting compared to The Boys' expansive universe.

A wider scope could have allowed for richer worldbuilding and exploration of superhero society.

Action sequences are well- choreographed and exciting, with impressive special effects for a TV series.

The soundtrack pulsates with a blend of edgy rock and synth- heavy electronica, capturing the show's rebellious spirit.

Cinematography is slick and stylish, with dynamic camerawork and striking visuals that evoke a hyper-real teenage world.

Gen V is a fun, albeit flawed, addition to The Boys universe. It's packed with sharp performances, brutally funny violence, and thought-provoking social themes.

However, the predictable plot, uneven tone, and limited worldbuilding hold it back from reaching the same dizzying highs as its parent show. Still, for fans of superhero satire and teen angst with a healthy dose of blood splatters, Gen V is a binge-worthy ride you won't regret.

Watch it if you enjoy The Boys' dark humor and superhero action, but temper your expectations for narrative originality.

One of the best series of all time,keep it up. Gen V, the highly anticipated spin-off of the popular TV series The Boys, has finally arrived, and it's a wild ride from start to finish. The show takes place in a prestigious superhero college, Godolkin University, where young adults with superpowers, known as "supes," come to hone their skills and become the next generation of heroes. As a fan of The Boys, I was excited to dive into this new series, and I was not disappointed.

One of the standout aspects of Gen V is its cast of characters. The show boasts a diverse and talented ensemble, each with their own unique personality, backstory, and motivations. The main characters, including Marie, a complex and conflicted supe with a troubled past, and Emma, a sweet and innocent freshman who becomes embroiled in the world of superhero politics, are well-developed and relatable. The cast delivers impressive performances, bringing depth and nuance to their characters, and making it easy to become invested in their stories.

The world-building in Gen V is also noteworthy. The show expands on the universe established in The Boys, introducing new locations, characters, and mythologies that add richness and depth to the narrative. The concept of a superhero college, where young adults with powers can learn to control and utilize their abilities, is fascinating, and the show does an excellent job of exploring the implications and consequences of such an institution. From the rigorous training programs to the cutthroat competition and social hierarchies, Gen V provides a compelling and thought-provoking look at the world of superheroes.

The show's themes are also worthy of praise. Gen V tackles a range of topics, including identity, trauma, power dynamics, and the consequences of playing with forces beyond human control. The series raises important questions about the nature of heroism, the responsibility that comes with great power, and the blurred lines between good and evil. These themes are timely and relevant, and the show handles them with sensitivity and nuance, never shying away from the darker aspects of the superhero world.

The action scenes in Gen V are intense and well-choreographed, with a mix of superpowered battles, hand-to-hand combat, and strategic showdowns. The special effects are impressive, bringing the superpowers to life in a convincing and visually stunning way. The show's pacing is well-balanced, with a mix of fast-paced action, emotional drama, and witty humor. The tone is darker and more irreverent than some other superhero shows, which will appeal to fans of The Boys and other mature comic book series.

One of the most impressive aspects of Gen V is its ability to balance lighthearted moments with darker, more serious themes. The show is not afraid to tackle tough subjects, including abuse, exploitation, and the consequences of trauma, but it also knows when to inject humor and wit into the narrative. The result is a show that is both entertaining and thought-provoking, with a unique tone that sets it apart from other superhero series.

If you're a fan of The Boys or just looking for a new superhero series to sink your teeth into, Gen V is definitely worth checking out. With its talented cast, engaging storyline, and thought-provoking themes, this show is sure to appeal to a wide range of audiences. While it may not be perfect, and some viewers may find certain plot twists or character developments frustrating, Gen V is a compelling and addictive series that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. So, if you're ready to enter a world of superheroes, supervillains, and complex moralities, then Gen V is the show for you.

It's nowhere near as good as the boys there's no dark humour that makes the boys so good it's just a load of teen angst and I appreciate that as a 50 year old man this wasn't really made for me it's a young adult show but I was hoping it would be like the boys but sadly it wasn't that's not to say it's bad it's o.k if your it's target audience (young adult), there are a few funny bits but they just don't hit the mark, the acting is pretty good and the storyline is not bad it kept me entertained and I did want to know what was gonna happen so in that respect it's a good entertaining program but it's just lacking a little something.

I cannot fathom, in any way possible, that anyone would rate this show above 8.

This feels so weird to watch. You feel like it SHOULD be a good show, because it's set in the same universe as The Boys, right? But the more you watch, the more you feel like you're watching some weird teenage show , that the annoying girl from your old high-school class guaranteed you was sooo interesting. Kind of like Riverdale vibes (how was that ever popular??) And yet, you feel yourself drifting off into sleep, the more you watch.

I don't know man, I wished I like this, because The Boys is an amazing, innovative show, but this is just so half-assed and bad.

Please, just stop. Stop it now.

Gen V ,one of the best masterpiece of a superhero move ,You can get the thrill ,energy and keeps you on edge craving for more action ,Not forgeting the best graphic display feature offered. Best of all times by intertaining all ages .The cast was well put to provide the best intertainment experience. All expressions can be felt emotionally attaching yourself to the scene at play then again feeling jovial when Gen v intervene changing the worst superheroes into magnificent heroes then again bringing best action flics as students get hectic in action packed scenes. Can't wait for next best chapter.
