An excellent filler storyline for The Boys between seasons 3 and 4, articulating the best of high school teen movies, plus the brutality of The Boys, perfect humor and the fun setting of a superhero university where something nefarious is going on. The main characters are likeable and you quickly find a way to relate to them, the whole plot moves along at a brisk pace, and the story is so engaging that I finished it in one sitting. The Boys are an unbeatable franchise and this just proves it again. Great stuff.

A spin-off of The Boys that definitely doesn't offend. On the other hand, it's important to realize that it doesn't compare to the main series at all. The characters are quite interesting, some with absolutely crazy abilities (like Emma with her size-changing and the central character Marie with her blood control). The story as a whole didn't really captivate me, but there were moments that made you stare at the screen in disbelief, trying to absorb and understand what just happened :D (this twisted universe is unmistakable, that's for sure). The cameos were particularly enjoyable, with Soldier Boy being entertaining and Homelander... well, he acted just like Homelander (which is exactly what I expected). So yes, it works as a light watch, and I might watch the next season. But I'm really waiting for the 4th season of The Boys... the wait is too long. I give it a 6/10.

An accomplished spin-off of The Boys! Spin-offs usually don't turn out well, but Gen V can definitely be considered successful, although it lacks the iconic characters of Butcher and Homelander, which are of course present in The Boys. All the rest works similarly. Those who enjoy movies and series set in high school will certainly not be offended by Gen V. We have a school focused on young superheroes, where you will develop sympathy towards them. Again, there is good gore, although there could have been more of it, it didn't seem that action-packed to me except for the finale. I liked the connection with The Boys, as a crucial thing happens here that will be pivotal for the 4th season, which is really nice. This cannot be said about the Marvel series, which simply cannot handle this connection with the movies and all of them appear redundant. Gen V manages to shock with decent plot twists – there’s a quite unexpected shock already in the first episode. Visually it is good, the pace is enjoyable, it's very entertaining and not completely foolish stuff. Fans of The Boys should not miss it. 75%
