Critics Consensus

Just about as gruesomely subversive as its origin series, Gen V builds on The Boys in occasionally chaotic but overall inspired fashion.

It’s a dark and twisty show set in a dark and twisty world.

Of course it’s melodramatic. But it’s also really fun and deals with some hotbed topics in interesting ways. I can’t wait to see how our Heroes of Godolkin get through the semester.

If nothing else, I’ll stay with this show to watch how Jordan’s plotline develops. But another reason to keep watching is the way the writers integrate social media, and its users’ fixation on reputation and clout, into the world.

3.5/5

A series that successfully combines the violence, darkness, and irreverence of its parent work with a more adolescent story where romance and self-discovery prevail. [Full Review in Spanish]

4/5

Gen V is simply extraordinary from the get-go, gripping viewers with its blood-soaked carnage, biting one-liners, and emotional interludes that will have you crying tears of joy and catharsis at a moment's notice.

Apart from the explosive action and bucket-loads of gore, the show also has some great character arcs and a well-written story.

Marie investigates her new school after Golden Boy’s crash out. This show is filled with interesting twists as they dive more into the Supe Virus within the Boys universe between seasons 3-4.

It was well filmed, but it's unclear what they'll do with Marie next, especially since there was already a super who controlled blood.

Great work of dark storytelling! It's incredibly catchy and maintains that signature cynicism I love, similiar to The Boys. The cold blooded nature of these young heroes in such a corrupt environment is truly captivating. A must watch that stands perfectly on its own!

One of the worst shows I've ever seen, do not waste your time with this like I did. The Boys is much better
