Watched the first episode and it was pretty good.
Had some of the qualities that made The Boys so good, but falls a bit short of that show (based on the first episode only though, it could get even better, or worse)

Rotten Tomatoes Under Fire After PR Firm's Scheme to Pay Critics for Positive Reviews Uncovered - IGN

A new report details how a PR firm paid off critics to post positive reviews of 2018 drama Ophelia on Rotten Tomatoes, prompting scrutiny over the reviews aggregator.

In an in-depth report published earlier today, Vulture uncovered a scheme from a PR firm called Bunker 15 to goose reviews for 2018 Daisy Ridley drama Ophelia. After initial reviews came in, resulting in a disappointing 46% rating on Rotten Tomatoes (a movie is deemed “rotten” if falling short of a 60% rating), Vulture reports that Bunker 15 started paying lower-level critics on the website to post positive reviews for $50 a pop, essentially trying to manipulate the system. The firm also lobbied one critic to change their negative review to positive.

You know, people can watch it and make their own minds up and come here and tell us what they think. That's the whole point of the thread.

First ep a bit slow to get going, but it really gets going with two and three. Solid cast and some interesting ideas to dig into.

Boy oh boy. The boys is a awfully average show that flitters between keep going and give up constantly. How did it get a spin off?

Then why did you post a RT score? lol what

To genuinely generate some discussion. But all I got for my trouble was a troll.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Why don't you lead the discussion of your thoughts on the spin off series, instead of posting a meaningless % score.

Well, I've watched the first three episodes and have enjoyed it for what it is. It certainly has the grossness we associate with The Boys, but it's still early days in regard to the storyline and where it's heading. The characters are pretty good, all with their own "demons" and flaws, and all wanting to be the next big thing or get into the 7. The hidden evil underbelly of Vought again acts as a catalyst to propel the story along. Oh, and this small review was not paid for. LMAO.

starting watching and was very confused with the opening (the aftermath of the night before), after trying to put every together for 25 minutes, realised id started on ep2. Was HAF at the time so will try again soon.

Great. This reminds me I need to finish The Boys. Stopped mid way Season 2 and I have no idea why. It's a great show.

I've been enjoying Gen V. It seems I'm the only one around here though LOL.

I like it.
The episode before last was cool where they all had their memories deleted.

 

[Oscarman]

It's good. I ****ing love Lizze Broadway.

Great Finale for S1. This has been a really enjoyable series. That cameo in the credits was especially enjoyable.

Not the only one. Just binged it (yay COVID) and although not as good as The Boys, still very much in its spirit and a lot of promise. Hyper violent and gory (and dick) but definitely full of themes and messages that resonate.

The actress that played Cate annoyed me greatly which I guess is the point.

Episode 5 was great, what a mindf*ck.

 

[Todman]

Worth a look!
