All of the shock-value that The Boys had, but without the compelling narrative and well-written characters.

We've got an all-inclusive McDonald's commercial cast that won't stop reminding you about their one, singular character trait.

Black girl, bulemic girl, non-binary person, etc.

If that sounds insensitive, that's because it is.

That's how the characters are written.

All of the satire regarding the fake politically-correct corporate culture seems completely lacking in self-awareness, because "Gen V" is the same as the soulless pandering corporate homunculus that they're mocking.

In classic "2010s Young-Adult Adaptation" fashion, every character over the age of 25 is outright corrupt, emotionless, and evil.

*Unless they have enough melanin for Amazon, then they're given the saving-grace of being allowed to have shades of grey in their character.

Otherwise, they're either malicious or unbelievably blind towards the world around them to the point where it borders on sitcom writing.

3 stars because: The actors/actresses are great. They've all done well with what they're given.

Set design, costume design, sound design, everything from a production standpoint is very well done.
