Have you ever wondered what The Boys would be if you kept all the gore and shocking elements, but removed all subtlety? Gen V doesn't do a great job at much, but it certainly does a good job answering that question.

Everything from script to characters and cinematography looks and feels generic. As if a child has tried to cook in a great chef's kitchen. Sure the meal includes all the ingredients you might expect; superheroes, gore, "shocking" nudity, corruption and more. But it's all just a thrown onto a platter with no finesse whatsoever, making it a terribly bland meal. Especially since you know how much better the real deal is.

All in all, the show isn't absolutely terrible. But it's definitely not a new 'The Boys'. If anything, it's more like Winx Club going NSFW.
