"Gen V" Rivals "The Boys" in a Sharper and Sleeker Season Two | TV/Streaming | Roger Ebert
"Our heroine made her escape before Andre's death, leaving her friends behind and taking to staying in motels, evading capture in small towns. With Dean Indira Shetty (Shelley Conn) now dead, another rises: Dean Cipher ( Hamish Linklater), a pious and brutal man who desires to weed out the weak at the university, desperate to mold the remaining students into an army that can rival The Seven. As Marie walks around America picking up snacks at gas stations and beating up Homelander (Antony Starr) supporters,"
"More so than Season 1, "Gen V" is now directly intertwined with the showdown that will obviously commence in the final season of its predecessor. The underbellies of Godolkin's already rotten core are even more frightening than one could imagine, and beneath those horrors lie ones that are unfathomable not only to our central characters but also to the audience."
After Andre's off-screen death, Emma and Jordan are returned to Godolkin University and forced to deny ties to Andre or Marie. Marie escapes before Andre's death, living on the run and attacking Homelander supporters while being tracked by Starlight, who needs her to uncover a buried God U mystery. With Dean Indira Shetty gone, Dean Cipher rises, enforcing brutal eugenic measures to forge an army to rival The Seven. Gen V's new season weaves directly into The Boys' path toward its final showdown, revealing deeper, unfathomable horrors tied to one hero and threatening to shatter this world.
