New spinoff 'Gen V' explores college life for young superheroes with typical 'Boys' humor and gore

The show follows a group of diverse superpowered students at the Vought-run Godolkin University.
'Gen V' focuses on characters like Marie Moreau, who can control blood, as they train to be heroes.
It satirizes media, corporations, and fame through the lens of adolescent struggles with identity.
Reviews find 'Gen V' retains the boundary-pushing style of 'The Boys' with plenty of violence and provocative humor.
While still finding its footing, 'Gen V' offers a fresh take on the superhero genre that connects to contemporary youth culture.
