Gen V seems determined to be just as violent and goofy as The Boys. A recap of “First Day,” episode 2 of ‘Gen V’ on Amazon Prime Video. A spinoff of ‘The Boys.’
The Boys spin-off Gen V is well-produced, features a charismatic cast, and hits most of its narrative and thematic marks with an admirable efficiency. However, after the three-episode premiere, it also feels a little bit like rote learning.
