Episode Review: Gen V 1x8 - "Guardians of Godolkin"
Welcome back to the blog readers. I have been absolutely loving Gen V (2023-) thus far. It has greatly expanded the universe of The Boys (2019-26) in a way that was totally unexpected. A show about college students that is focused on the characters while only showing brief ties to its parent show? Sign me up. I am so saddened that we have reached the finale for two reasons: because I have to wait an unspecified amount of time to watch the show again, and because I will never

Episode Review: Gen V 1x7 - Sick
Welcome back to the blog readers. One of the big surprises for me would absolutely have to be Gen V (2023-), a show that lives in the universe of The Boys (2019-26) and is not afraid to prove it. This is a far more character-focused show than The Boys is, and I believe that is why I have fallen in love with this show as hard as I have. Now that we are approaching the end of the first season, what is in store for us with this penultimate episode, titled "Sick," written by Chel

Episode Review: Gen V 1x6 - "Jumanji"
Welcome back to the blog readers. One of the biggest surprises I have had as a fan of film and television is how good Gen V (2023-) has been. I have fallen in love with our characters (including Marie, Andre, Emma, Sam, and others), I have fallen in love with the story, and I am absolutely in awe over the visuals we have gotten. We have three episodes left (including this one), and I cannot wait to see where this story goes. Would this episode, titled "Jumanji," written by La

Episode Review: Gen V 1x5 - "Welcome to the Monster Club"
Welcome back to the blog readers. In a statement I never thought I would be saying, I am enjoying Gen V (2023-) more and more each week. The characters are real and meaningful, the story is a perfect mystery left to be unwrapped, and the atmosphere makes this show belong in the same world as its parent show The Boys (2019-26). Last episode was a wild ride that ended with a hell of a cliffhanger. Would the conclusion of that cliffhanger be satisfactorily handled in this episod

Episode Review: Gen V 1x4 - "The Whole Truth"
Welcome back to the blog readers. It may have taken an episode or two for Gen V (2023-) to pick up steam, but this is a show that was always going to live in the shadow of its parent series The Boys (2019-26). I am so glad that this series has stayed true to the spirit of The Boys while creating its own identity so far through three episodes. With five episodes left (including this one) of the first season, I am hopeful it can carve out its own place. Would this episode, titl

Episode Review: Gen V 1x3 - "#ThinkBrink"
Welcome back to the blog readers. I deeply apologize for being delayed on the reviews for this show, but life has gotten in the way and things have happened. But I am back and better than ever, ready to review one of my current shows that I think has a whole lot of promise. The first two episodes have integrated this show into the Boys universe perfectly while carving out its own identity. Now, we have a hook and a reason to watch this show. With that being said, could the mo

Episode Review: Gen V 1x2 - "First Day"
Welcome back to the blog readers. Well, that was a pretty interesting way to start your show. Gen V (2023-), a series set in the universe of The Boys (2019-26), started out as wild and intense as an episode of its parent show. I think we got some pretty interesting characters and a pretty intriguing story, although I am not quite sure where the show is going to lead us in the future. We could start by talking about this second episode, titled "First Day," written by Zak Schwa

Episode Review: Gen V 1x1 - "God U."
Welcome back to the blog readers. As you may know from the last year, I am absolutely loving everything I am seeing out of The Boys (2019-26). Hearing we were getting a spinoff of The Boys got me very excited to see different stories in this world. Learning it was a coming-of-age series about a bunch of "college Supes" definitely intrigued me since I am not even 10 years removed from college yet. Would it start off hot with this premiere, titled "God U.," written by Craig Ros

Episode Review: The Boys 3x8 - "The Instant White-Hot Wild"
Welcome back to the blog readers. Seven episodes in, I can confidently say that this third season of The Boys (2019-26) is the absolute best one of the series thus far. It is even jumping into the conversation of the best shows on television right now. But sadly, all good things must come to an end and we unfortunately have to say goodbye to this series for now. But, good news is I will try to make it my mission before this year ends to watch the first season of Gen V (2023-)

Episode Review: The Boys 3x7 - "Here Comes a Candle to Light You to Bed"
Welcome back to the blog readers. Last week, I reviewed possibly the best episode of television I have seen with the titular Herogasm taking place (and no, it was not because of the massive superhero orgy). Payoffs, humor, tragedy and a killer fight scene all took the stage with that masterpiece of an episode. Will we even be able to reach those heights with this episode, titled "Here Comes a Candle to Light You to Bed," written by Paul Grellong, and directed by Sarah Boyd? S

Episode Review: The Boys 3x6 - "Herogasm"
Welcome back to the blog readers. Five episodes in, I can confidently say that the third season of The Boys (2019-26) is the best of the series thus far. Everything is firing on all cylinders: the performances are fire, the stories are engaging, and I am addicted to this show like crack. This episode has been circled on my calendar for a long time, and now it is finally here. Would the titular "Herogasm," written by Jessica Chou, and directed by Nelson Cragg, live up to the h

Episode Review: The Boys 3x5 - "The Last Time to Look on This World of Lies"
Welcome back to the blog readers. The Boys (2019-26) just gave me the most intense hour of television I have ever seen with the last episode. Everything from the parallels between Butcher and Homelander becoming more prevalent to a coup attempt ending in death, and shocks and laughs to the brim. Now that we are halfway through this season, I am looking for an episode that features more absolute chaos than we have ever seen. Will it be this episode, titled "The Last Time to Lo

Welcome back to the blog readers. As you know, The Boys (2019-26) has quickly become one of my favorite shows on television right now. The character work has been stellar, the performances have been amazing, and the story has been mesmerizing to say the least. Now we are halfway through the third season with this episode, titled "Glorious Five-Year Plan," written by Meredith Glynn, and directed by Julian Holmes, and I am curious to see if the momentum can keep going.

Episode Review: The Boys 3x3 - "Barbary Coast"
Welcome back to the blog readers. There is a very good chance that The Boys (2019-26) has given us their finest hour last time out where we got some insane shit such as Homelander's chilling rant about being the only one who can save people in a performance that should have garnered Anthony Starr an Emmy nomination. Would he continue that trend, and would the show continue its upwards momentum, with this episode, titled "Barbary Coast," written by Anslem Richardson and Geoff

Welcome back to the blog readers. As you may know by now, one of my favorite shows on right now has to be The Boys (2019-26) without a doubt. I love all the characters (even though they are mostly assholes), the story is relevant and necessary for today, and the gore and action is top-tier, especially the Termite scene in last episode. But we must tread forward and discuss this episode, titled "The Only Man in the Sky," written by David Reed, and directed by Phil Sgriccia. Wo

The second season was such a shock to me and I absolutely have high expectations for this third season if I have to be honest. Now, we had a hell of a spring with some great shows, but we are back with one of my favorites on right now.

Welcome back to the blog readers. Unfortunately, we are nearing the end of yet another season of The Boys (2019-26) and it really hurts my heart. This second season has been so satisfying and I wish it could go on forever. Last episode was an insane one with a deeper dive into Billy Butcher's psyche, more great character moments, and an explosive (literally) finale that left my jaw on the floor. How will the second season end? Stick around to find out, as I review the finale,

Welcome back to the blog readers. In case you don't already know, then The Boys (2019-26) is rapidly becoming one of my favorite shows because everything is being done right. And that excellence could not have been personified more than in last episode, where fools were cut down and our expectations were subverted in a massive way with the reveal of Stormfront being a Nazi. What on Earth would we be getting with this episode, titled "Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker," writte
