The Boys was always too ugly for me, like I got the "real real" on the superhero tip, but I never grooved with this show, wasn't ever pleased watching it. Didn't make it past the first season.
Gen V on the other hand, was outstanding, and I really can't square that circle, the characters/actors/writing/situations dunno were just more palatable, presented in an entertaining way, to me.
God knows what's going to happen to that show now after the untimely death of one of it's stars.
Exact opposite reaction here. Caught up on the Boys and wanted more, but I gave up Gen V halfway through the third episode. Felt like I couldn't relate to the characters.
