Season 2 of Gen V scored lower on Rotten Tomatoes compared to its first season, but it still outperforms certain seasons of The Boys.
Marie and other student Supes are back at Godolkin University in Gen V season 2, which is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. The sophomore season of the spin-off series from The Boys universe has been met with a mix of praise and criticism.
In our own review, Gen V season 2 received four stars, with critics praising its focus on friendship and forgiveness. DiscussingFilm also commended the new season, stating that it excels as it delves into these themes. Slashfilm wrote that the spin-off series is "more confident, more ambitious, and more earnest" in its second year.
However, not all reviews have been positive. Inverse's verdict is that Gen V season 2 "elicits more eyerolls than gasps." The Daily Beast criticized the season as "repetitive and charisma-challenged," yet to fully mature.
A new Dean, Cipher, portrayed by Hamish Linklater, is training the Supes to become soldiers in Gen V season 2. Homelander wreaks havoc around the country, adding an extra layer of tension to the season.
Despite some negative reviews, Gen V season 2 has a critics' score of 89% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is higher than the score of The Boys season 1 when it was released in 2019 (85%). The score for Gen V season 2 is not the lowest in The Boys universe, but it is lower than the near-perfect score of the spin-off's first season (97%).
The season also pays tribute to the departed Chance Perdomo, who played the character of Craig in the first season. The review mentions this tribute with great respect.
To never miss an episode of Gen V season 2, check the release schedule. The new season is releasing weekly on Amazon Prime Video.
Overall, Gen V season 2 offers a mix of action, drama, and character development, making it a must-watch for fans of The Boys universe. Whether you're a fan of the original series or new to the universe, Gen V season 2 is worth checking out.
