The main cast of Gen V may comprise entirely of new original characters, but the story is firmly rooted in the world of The Boys. While that show focuses on the most famous supes in America — and the relatively anonymous resistance group determined to expose and destroy them — this one gives us a more direct on-the-ground perspective. We see how the rest of the country thinks about supes. — Ben Rosenstock, “Gen V Series-Premiere Recap: Orientation”
