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]

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.

The boys is an incredible show but this is just super cringey. Acting is very average and plot is fast and predictable. Definitely don’t need to watch this.

Split V

Starts off strong but ends up being just okay. Quite predictable after the 2nd episode. How many vanilla eggplants can we humiliate, kick, beat, and explode every episode? Standard teenage/college melodrama is tolerable, but the last couple of episodes felt rushed. A couple of the characters' motivations and personalities change suddenly, and the season ends abruptly, leaving an unsatisfactory unfinished aftertaste.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
