Gen V is a good show, but it doesn't quite reach the satirical heights of earlier seasons of The Boys. It feels like a parody of the parody itself rather than a sharp commentary on societal issues.

It does have all the familiar graphical ingredients that have made the original show a notable success: a girl with the ability to shrink, sliding down an oversized anatomical structure, an unresolved mystery, brutally graphic deaths, and a generous dose of gore, all masterfully packaged.

However, despite these elements, Gen V feels somewhat like more of the same. It's a good show, but it doesn't break any new ground.

I'm curious to see how the season concludes, but I think only die-hard fans of The Boys will find this series the most amazing thing on TV.
