I like The Boys even if the nihilism of this series is sometimes too much for me. I had high hopes for Gen V and the first 2-3 episodes were satisfying and more or less what I expected. And then things went downhill pretty fast. In fact they went nowhere.

It could have been some kind of "Wednesday" in the Boys universe but in the end it was a pointless preview of season 4 of The Boys.

The last episodes were particularly awful, the writing, directing, plot - were all bad. The finale episode was really bad, characters shift motivations in the middle of the episode, behave opposite to their personalities, all to serve a plot that does not make a lot of sense. And the cameos in the end were just ridiculous and killed completely any personality the series could have.

The biggest mistake was probably killing off the guy with the most presence and charisma in the first episode (Arnold's son). The others were ok, including the main character. She is not very good looking so it's difficult to understand why everybody in the show looks at her like she is beautiful (a trend I remarked in many modern series), but she does a relatively good job and has presence. The others are just ok as I said.
