Review of Gen V

Gen V (2023– )
Solid spinoff
16 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Season one is pretty good, it's different from the parent story for better and for worse. Starting with the positives, Marie, Emma, Andre and and Jordan are likeable character that are fun to follow in a story that has a tone of humor. Sam's character arc was pretty impressive in only a season. The two last episodes were really great with Neuman's appearance that quickly raised the stakes and the last episode being really crazy. Unfortunately the first six episodes were a bit forgettable, they definitely were necessary for character development and build up but they were not exactly interesting. While the comedy is still great, the one thing missing from this spinoff is expert writing, in The Boys, seeing incredibly powerful characters engaging in mind games to screw each other is essential while in this, they let Cate operate long after the reveal.

Seasone 1: 7/10.
