What to Read Next

With Homelander now firmly in control of the country, things are changing at Godolkin University. A new, enigmatic Dean is introducing a program designed to unlock students’ full potential. While Cate and Sam are hailed as heroes, Marie, Jordan, and Emma return to their studies, still struggling with the emotional wounds from recent, difficult experiences.

With tensions rising between Humans and Supes – both at school and beyond – it’s hard for anyone to focus on normal life like parties and classes. The group discovers a hidden program with roots stretching back to the very beginning of Godolkin University, and it seems to be more significant than they initially thought. To make things even stranger, Marie is somehow connected to it all.

Season two of the popular series has received a ‘Certified Fresh’ rating of 90% on Rotten Tomatoes. *Empire Magazine* praised the show, saying it’s improved by successfully combining its over-the-top, often shocking visuals with well-developed characters. They called it so good, they’d happily watch five more seasons!

The Guardian noted that while *Gen V* understands it’s not a major player in the larger world of superhero stories, it approaches its niche with energy and appeal.

The show could easily fall into predictable tropes and become too focused on itself, but it manages to pull it off with confidence and a cool attitude. Thankfully, the character of God U remains delightfully terrible, according to the *London Evening Standard*.

When Gen V premiered in 2023, it received a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Slant Magazine praised the show as a lively mix of comedy, action, and heartfelt stories.

The *Los Angeles Times* agreed, calling *Gen V* a witty and cynical take on how much money is made from celebrating superheroes. They also noted that it’s just as bold and unrestrained as *The Boys*.

Season two of Gen V is currently airing on Prime Video, with new episodes landing on Wednesdays.

The new edition of Living Legends is here! Buy Gaga in newsagents or online, priced at just £8.99.
