Gen V Season 1 review: A surprisingly well-executed spin-off to ‘The Boys’
According to the official synopsis of Season 4, Victoria Neuman, the supe with the power to pop heads, is inching closer to consolidating her stake on the Oval office, aided by Homelander. Butcher, who has not only lost Becca’s son, but also the confidence of his team, needs to find a way to stop Victoria and Homelander, while also contending with the fact that he’s got only months to live, after injecting a tad too much Compound V in Season 3.
Following the renewal for Season 5, showrunner Eric Kripke was quoted as saying that The Boys could be the best job he’ll ever have, given that it allows him to write about politics, capitalism, family and exploding genitalia. The show is based on The New York Times best-selling comic by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, who are on board as executive producers.
