Gen V Review: The Boys Spin-off Is Wild, Entertaining & Leaves You Wanting More-TGN

The Boys' first live-action spin-off, Gen V, is a welcome addition to Garth Ennis and Seth Rogen's co-production. The cast is full of fresh faces, except for the incomparable Clancy Brown (Justice League). The usual gore, drugs, and dick jokes are still a staple of the franchise, and no punches are pulled just because the cast is younger. Though we might miss characters like Homelander and performers like Chace Crawford, there is a familiar but fresh essence to Gen V. Nelson Cragg (Them) directs two episodes and does a great job bridging the two shows. Leading the show in front of the camera are The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina alums Jaz Sinclair and Chance Perdomo, and they do a great job grounding the series.
