From the beginning of the series it can be seen that Gen V maintains the DNA of The Boys giving way to some first scenes full of blood and viscerality.

Gen V shows us numerous references to its predecessor series. Don’t forget The Boys since it is shown that the Patriot is doing its thing in the world and some familiar faces appear like Ashley Barrett, the CEO of Vought International. The series has a deep component of social significance in which some serious topics are discussed, above all, contemplated the stage of adolescence so present in Gen V. Eating disorder, suicidal thoughts or even gender dysphoria are themes already present in the first three chapters of the series.
Although it must be recognized that Gen V takes much less risks than The Boys, the Amazon series lays the foundations very well for what is to come. Gen V maintains the best of The Boys and places it in a completely new setting: the life of a teenager in college and everything that entails. The first chapters of Gen V have been a hit on the table and have left me wanting to know how this story continues. If you like the brutality of The Boys, Gen V may be your next series.
