[Schmidt]

Only three episodes out but they're all really good.

[Brian Blessed]

I agree. And they certainly made it very clear this is The Boys universe with that first episode, fucking hell lol

[Claire.]

Yeah, one a week from now on.

[ScouserAtHeart]

When's season 4? Any news?

[Henry Gale]

When's season 4? Any news?

It got hit hard from the strikes so probably next year now, But I haven't seen an official date yet.

[Brian Blessed]

I googled Godolkin and…yeah.

Family entertainment at it's finest.

Is this set right after S3 ends in the timeline?

[Agent99]

Gen V was ok. None of the characters are memorable at all though which is one of the strengths of The Boys.

[Schmidt]

Is this set right after S3 ends in the timeline?

Yeah, it makes a couple of references to the end of S3 and mentions one or two things we haven't seen yet.

S3 spoilers and a reference to S4 that was in Gen V.

Spoiler

S3 ended with Homelander killing a protester and being cheered for it, then Gen V mentions he's apparently on trial which we haven't seen yet.

I thought it was shite to be honest, A bunch of really annoying teenagers. I had zero interest in any of the characters and the lead is probably the worse one. I will wait for the Boys to come back.

I don't think it's shite but not a patch on, The Boys. The characters are not great and I couldn't really give a fuck about any of them.

The only vaguely interesting one is the one locked up.

Take out the violence and it feels more 90210 than it's grown up sibling.

[Dench57]

No Homelander, no party

[Trada]

I really enjoyed the first 3 episodes, really like the shrinking girl and wasnt annoyed by any of the leads the adults are the more annoying ones

She is a good actor, spent the entire time dreading her committing suicide though.

[Chakan]

I enjoyed the first 3 episodes, got absolutely nothing on the main show, but it's decent nonetheless.

[Trada]

Yes, I did as well

That's a great comparison and as I didn't like that show neither it makes sense 

[Red Viper]

Gen V is great. It's not The Boys but it's still got the same dark humour to it.

Spoiler

This weeks ep was really good. The puppet massacre had me in stitches.

[Trada]

GenV renewed for a 2nd series

[Brian Blessed]

Excellent

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Enjoying Gen V

Off it's head, but yeah!

[red_Mark1980]

Mad people can't like Gen V but like the boys

[Red Viper]

Ace. Hope we get a whole puppet episode in season 2

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Does seem a bit odd.

[Brian Blessed]

I just found out that Golden Boy is played by Schwarzenegger’s son. That’s slightly meta.

[Trada]

Just watched episode 7 and suddenly you can see why it may link into the next season of The Boys.

They have set out one or two storylines that have to be played out on that show.

WOW! Wonder whos son Sam is if hes more powerful than Arnies lad. My money is on Bluto or Jón Páll Sigmarsson

Spoiler

Yeah, really strong links now, I wonder if watching this will be essential to following everything in The Boys. Particularly with the airplane stuff the god U Dean uncovered.

Also interesting that they mentioned Homelander is going on trial for the murder he committed at the end of the last season. I suppose that tells us about one of the plots of the next season.

Spoiler

I was wondering whether Marie could just rip people apart by pulling their blood out of them, I guess now we know the answer! Interesting that she's being talked up as extremely powerful, though since there's a second season coming I'm assuming she won't be transitioning to the main show soon.

I wonder what this means for the length of the main show too, it has already run longer than the comics, albeit both follow a very different path, and the two intertwining suggests we have a few more seasons to go.

Love everything aboot this whole universe

That was Boss

[FlashingBlade]

Gen V was fucking ace....and have the big lust for Maddie Phillips.
