Summary

From the world of The Boys comes Gen V, a new series set at America’s only college for superheroes. These gifted students put their moral boundaries to the test, competing for the university’s top ranking, and a chance to join The Seven, Vought International’s elite superhero team. When the school’s dark secrets come to light, they must decide what kind of heroes they want to become.

Review

Jack Seale

You can watch this teen drama without having seen the parent series, The Boys, although that is superior so would be a better starting point.

We’re in the same alternative world where superpowers are enjoyed by a significant minority of the population, who can use them to become celebrities. But because they serve as a metaphor for the hidden violence of corporate America, these superhumans tend to be selfish and vicious behind their public personae. Now we see where that all comes from as we enrol at the suitably sinister Godolkin University. Marie (Jaz Sinclair) is young, idealistic and can manipulate blood, but she’s about to learn that her plan to become a morally sound crime-fighter will not be easily realised.

Despite the campus setting, Gen V isn’t really aiming at a younger audience than The Boys — it’s just as wickedly vulgar, particularly with its imaginative, sometimes shocking, special effects.
