Prime Video
SERIES PREMIERE
“Being a hero, a real hero, it’s not about glory, it’s about sacrifice.” This life lesson, couched in cynicism and sinister mystery, is par for the undergraduate course in a gory, raunchy and utterly gripping spinoff of The Boys, set at superhero-nurturing Godolkin University. The newest student, orphaned Marie (Jaz Sinclair), is still struggling to master her grisly blood powers and has some catching up to do when it comes to social media—she doesn’t even have a phone—but soon she’s swept up in intrigue that strikes at the heart of the college’s deepest secrets. There’s also plenty of media and genre satire, and outrageous plot twists—including a peculiar sex scene that’s bound to get attention—as Marie ingratiates herself with elite students including top-ranked “Golden Boy” Luke Riordan (Patrick Schwarzenegger, son of you-know-who).

Gen V
Prime Video
Only in this outrageous college-set spinoff of The Boys are you likely to hear dialogue like, “You have a piece of eardrum on your shoulder.” The mayhem at Goldolkin University escalates once the troubled Sam (Asa Germann) escapes his prison in “The Woods” with the help of Emma “Little Cricket” (Lizze Broadway), and TV muckraker Tek Knight (Derek Wilson), also a Supe, arrives on campus to snoop into recent events, clashing with Dean Shetty (Shelley Conn). True to form for this series, there’s an over-the-top sight gag likely to make viewers cringe, gag and laugh in equal measure.

Gen V
Prime Video
A visit to Godolkin University by duplicitous vice-presidential candidate Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit) is the catalyst for an explosive penultimate episode to the Boys spinoff’s first season. (Happily, Gen V has already been renewed for a second.) Neuman arrives at an already tense moment, with the evil Dean Shetty (Shelley Conn) plotting to weaponize the supe-killing virus for reasons that soon become clear, while her disillusioned protégée Cate (Maddie Phillips) considers whether to let the rest of her student-superhero peer group in on the scope of Shetty’s bad actions. And when Emma (Lizze Broadway) loses track of the unstable Sam (Asa Germann) during Neuman’s controversial town hall appearance, she’s not the only one who fears the worst should the student body erupt in protest.

Godolkin University, training ground for a new generation of conflicted superheroes, erupts in chaos in the Season 1 finale of The Boys spinoff. Supe turns against supe with explosive and gory results as the true nature of heroism is debated in no uncertain terms, and the campus may never be the same again. The climax packs an awful lot of action into a tight 35-minute running time. More streamers should take notice.
