Prime Video has a hit on its hands. Keeping up with all three seasons of The Boys, the R-rated spinoff Gen V is also garnering stellar reviews. The review embargo for the series lifted on Wednesday and so far, no critics have rated the show"Rotten" on Rotten Tomatoes. That means as of this writing, Gen V is rocking a perfect 100-percent Fresh rating on the review aggregator, an increasingly rare site in the Golden Age of streaming.
Most critics applaud the series for both its commitment to the series it's based on, yet setting itself far enough apart so that it can be its own thing. Though it's very much in line with the tone of The Boys, Gen V's vibe slightly alters in that is a collegiate coming-of-age tale. The third season of The Boys also debuted on Rotten Tomatoes with a perfect score and now, a year later, it's Certified Fresh with a 98-percent Fresh rating.
"There's definitely crossover, and we're doing our best to design a universe that sees some of the issues and storylines in Season 3 hand off to the first season in Varsity," The Boys creator Eric Kripke previously said of the show."Like there's a presidential campaign happening in the background of that season, and there's certain things that are happening at that school that are both in reaction to Season 3 of The Boys.
Gen V is the first live-action spinoff of The Boys, the hit Prime Video series based on the Dynamite Comics series. Set in Godolkin University, originally a parody of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters from Marvel's X-Men comics, the series is described as"Hunger Games" at a college and the cutthroat world of young supes trying their best to get on one of Vought's super teams, including The Seven.
