This is not only the result of good writing, but of an incredibly strong cast with consistent knockout performances (that I hope make it to award season). As the show progresses, we get a deeper and deeper look at what’s in their hearts and where their motives lie - and it’s hard not to love them and all of their (mostly understandable) character flaws. ![]() Unlike The Boys, where one could argue that nearly every single character is morally corrupt to an unforgivable degree - it’s hard not to feel protective over Gen V’s young Supes. The stakes are higher than ever now, and danger is lurking at every corner. Though I criticized episodes 3 through 5 for giving us a bit too much exposition and a handful of uneventful scenes that would have been better left on the cutting room floor, Gen V’s penultimate episode is absent of lulls, and, dare I say, perfectly paced. The series has a strange way of storytelling, with most of season one relying on flashbacks and a non-linear timeline (with episode 6 taking place almost entirely inside a character’s mind). While Marie, Jordan, Andre, and a frazzled Cate hunt for a way to expose Godolkin University’s ugly truths, Emma and Sam are wrapped up in their own unique situation – a newly formed couple where one partner is a wanted fugitive with more than a dozen (albeit justified) kills under his belt. ![]() Episode 7 aims to keep the viewer on their toes, wondering if these dramatic revelations (and betrayals) will unite them or just end up tearing them apart. The previous episode dropped an individual bombshell on nearly every single one of our beloved Supes, exposing their true motives and not-so-distant wrongdoings to one another.
