From the crazy screwed up world of The Boys comes this gem of a series called Gen V, perhaps even more screwed up and in your face. Nah, who am I kidding? Nothing can be gorier than The Boys but Gen V is surely way up there in the top.
It tells us a story of a group of teenagers trying to fit into this world of superpeople, learning how to use their powers for good (and for evil too), coping with all of the difficulties they must face and figuring out what they truly are, what is their purpose, whether they go against this messed up system or become a part of the machine. Those are some basic things every adolescent goes through in their life but Gen V kids do it all with intrigues, conspiracies, bloodshed, sexual innuendos and tons and tons of dead bodies. In a word, nothing that a Boys fan won't like.
Solid performances by mostly unknown for me actors, except Patrick Schwarzenegger whose father is a liiiittle bit known in a world of cinema, engaging story that grabs you by the throat and doesn't allow you to even blink because you might just miss some hilariously over the top and brutal death or injury, fantastic soundtrack at the end of every episode (as usual) and some memorable cameos from the said universe and a cliffhanger the series leaves the viewer on is all there is to need to be excitedly waiting for a new dose of Gen V.
