Even though some of the social commentary is a bit less subtle & the dick jokes/crude humor feels a bit more forced than the main show Gen V still does enough to keep me interested in the overall story. Starting off in classic 'The Boys' fashion with an opening scene filled with shock, gore, and a reminder of just how cruel this superhero universe is. Our main character finds herself orphaned in the Red River group home we visited in Season 3 of The Boys. Determined not to be sent to an adult rehabilitation facility after failing to be adopted she applies and is accepted into Godolkin University. Where surprise, surprise, not all is as it seems.

So far through the first 3 episodes it's been exactly what I've come to expect from The Boys universe and it doesn't hurt that the fight scenes have clearly been upgraded (seriously i hope the main show receives this same treatment for season 4) with Golden Boy going toe to toe against gender bending Jordan looking better than any supe fight I can remember seeing from the main show. If you enjoy The Boys I'm fairly confident Gen V has enough twists, gore, and wtf moments to keep you entertained until our boys are ready to make their return.
