The first 5 minutes of episode one are so good to me because this is who they have been for the past 30 years. It's always been Charles shoving Edwin out of danger. It's always been Edwin to be the one to mirror hop and take them back home. They're synchronized in every movement they make, they're two parts of one whole.
There is so much growth and development even within the first episode that it's easy to forget this is who they have always been, and after everything that's happened, it's scary to admit that everything has changed.
So Gen V is actually really good...like shockingly good. If you're a fan of The Boys at all I HIGHLY recommend watching. It doesn't feel like a spin off, more like different insight into this world.
The characters are all great so far, there's been a few WTF moments, and I appreciate that they are already diving into the "mystery" and not dragging it out.
It's heavily implied this show takes place post The Boys S3 if you're not caught up yet!
