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.

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

Cate's arc over the course of S01 is incredible. From a poorly constructed character at the offset to the Big Bag of the finale, Maddie Phillips' turn is impressively rendered.

Prime Video's new series is just as brilliant as the original, and it's also a demonstration that the superhero genre still has a lot to say. [Full Review in Spanish]

O fato de reconhecerem que existem outros seres alem da equipe original já conta e a série não tem medo de mostrar que o Capitão Pátria resolve toda a temporada em 1 segundo.

The characters are very good and the story carries a tension and emotional weight that makes you feel all of this. In addition to well-explored twists that make you fall in love with the universe.

I really enjoyed watching this. I binged it in one day. It's just as good as The Boys and is pretty much the same just different characters, setting, and story. Also, cool cameo in last episode.
