Amazon Prime Original Series Gen V was fun, interesting, and wild if you are a fan of The Boys series then you will like this. The story was really good I like the new characters they introduce in this series and I like how they are focusing on the new younger superheroes and villains. Marie Moreau is one of my favorite characters in the series I like her backstory her powers are weird but I like them and the friendships/relationships she had with the other characters were good. I like the relationship Marie and Jordan had I also did like how they didn't like each other at first but eventually they ended up together, I like the conversation between Marie and Victoria Neuman and the history the both of them have with Red River Institute. I think Marie might become more powerful when she learns to control her powers and I hope she will team up with Butcher and his crew in Season 4 of The Boys.
Andre Anderson was a good character I did like his powers and his backstory was good, Andre's relationship with Cate was messy and I get why he wanted to be with her but it wasn't going to work. Andre's friendship with Luke is okay but seeing how Andre ends up with Cate who was Luke's girlfriend doesn't make Andre look good, I like that he decided to help the group in the last episode and I want to see more from the character in future seasons.
Emma Meyer aka Little Cricket is another favorite character that I like her backstory was interesting, her power was weird but I like them and I like how she became friends with the other characters. Emma's relationship with Sam was funny I like how they got to know each other and you can tell they belong together because the both of them understand each other, I do like this character and I want to see more of her story in season 2 and I also want to see how she will be able to use her power without purging or eating too much food.
Jordan Li is an interesting character I like the character's shapeshifting powers, the backstory was good, and like I said before I like Marie and Jordan's relationship I think they have good chemistry. I feel like we just got a little bit of Jordan's story this season and I would like to see Jordan interact with his parents more because the tension between them was interesting.
Luke Riordan was a good and interesting character Luke aka Golden Boy is the oldest brother of Sam and I thought his powers were good, I like his backstory and his friendships with the other characters were good too. Luke and Cate's relationship was okay I like that we found out in episode 3 that both of them were involved with The Woods facility but to be honest I didn't care about Luke and Cate's relationship that much. I'll say this again the friendship between Luke and Andre was okay and you can tell that Andre was like a brother to Luke but again when we find out that Andre went behind Luke's back and started seeing Cate it just made Andre not a good friend. It was a little sad to see Luke set himself on fire at the end of episode 1 but I did like how the ghost of Luke popped up in episode 6 and went after Andre and the crew.
Sam Riordan is a wild character now we don't know much about Sam's past but the story that we got about him was good I like his powers and the flashback scene that we got in episode 3 with Sam, Luke, and Cate in The Woods was good. Sam's interaction with the other characters was funny and like I said before the relationship between Emma and Sam was funny but when they had that argument in episode 8 I thought it was good and the things that Sam was saying made you want to see him get revenge on the people at Godolkin University. Sam is an interesting character we also see that he has schizophrenia so sometimes he doesn't know what is real and what's fake, so watching him try to be himself but also try to be like a normal young teenager is interesting.
Cate Dunlap is a very interesting character I like her powers, her backstory, and her friendships with the other characters were good and messy. I'll say this again Cate's relationship with both Luke and Andre was fine but I didn't care for it what I did like was her involvement in The Woods and how Indira Shetty made Cate use her powers to make Luke forget that he and his brother Sam was experiment on. Episode 6 was interesting because we find out what happens between Cate and her parents, so when Cate was 9 years old she accidentally used her powers and told her brother to go away so this caused Indira Shetty to help Cate control her powers. In episode 7 Cate made Indira tell the group about why she started The Woods and create The Virus that was made to kill all of the supes, Cate killed Indira after the crew told her not to do that, and then in episode 8, that's when Cate lost it and she team-ups with Sam to free all of the other kids in The Woods and they attack everyone on Godolkin University campus. Watching Cate become more unhinged was something seeing her eyes turning bloodshot red was good and some of the things she was saying to Marie and Andre were true but kind of messed up. I did like how Cate and Sam became the Guardians of Godolkin at the end of episode 8 and I can't wait to see what Cate does in season 2.
I like the other characters in this season Indira Shetty was good I like her story and Indira's involvement in The Woods and how she made Edison Cardosa make The Virus was good. Rufus, Edison Cardosa, Justine Garcia, Tek-Knight, and Richard Brinkerhoff were alright I like the characters and they were good in this season but I didn't care about them that much, Andre dad Polarity was interesting, and having him be a part of Andre story was cool but I just didn't care about the character. Maverick who is the son of Translucent was a cool character I like how they use him in this season and I can see him joining The Seven one day. I did like that we got some characters from The Boys series like Grace Mallory, Adam Bourke, Ashley Barrett, Victoria Neuman, some of The Seven members, and Soldier Boy. I also really like that we got to see Homelander and Butcher at the end of episode 8.
My favorite episodes from this season are God U, #ThinkBrink, The Whole Truth, Jumanji, and Guardians of Godolkin, the easter eggs that they had in this season were cool and the story that was told was also good. I am very interested to see how they are going to bring together all of the characters in Season 4 of The Boys and I am also happy that Gen V is getting a Second Season.
I would recommend watching this last season and I will give it a 9/10
