So I really enjoyed this spinoff. It is definitely darker compared to the boys, and because of this I think the comedic undertone that has become synonymous with the boys doesn't really seem to work or "fit" in gen V. Which I don't necessarily mind, it's set in the boys universe, but it isn't trying to be the boys. In my opinion it works, I think it would have been pretty boring if Gen V didn't try to have its own personality.

Throughout the series I felt like this was the marvel movie "mutants" I wanted, but never got. It's heavy, it's cruel, and it works. I enjoyed the satire towards the younger generation as well, digging fun at how we are obsessed with popularity, online presence etc. Although it's hugely overdone at this stage, they still made it work without it being obnoxious.

Finally, my scoring. This tv show was a strong 6, possibly a 7 for me until the final 30 seconds of the final episode. It's the most ridiculous conclusion to this seasons story arc, and I loved it. It bumped my rating up to an 8. It really nailed home that this tv show was in the boys universe, and I can't think of a more perfect ending for a boys spinoff.

Definitely worth a watch. This tv show doesn't deserve the hate!
