Gen V S2 ★☆☆☆☆

They really had no plan for how they were going to do with that cliffhanger did they? Just forget it and quickly return them to the school. The show is of such inconsistent quality and it gets markedly worse whenever it get hijacked by the plot of The Boys. It fails to build any kind of real tension and just have characters repeatedly tell each other how dangerous and important everything is while everyone just wanders from scene to scene with no sense of urgency and we can explain any tiresome, extraneous back and forth with it just all being part of Sage’s big, grand, vague plan. Also explicit ranked power levels exist in this now too. Sure. Whatever.

On the political side this series has generally been fast and lose with allegories and I don’t expect the logic of supe supremacist to be particularly sound, but pulling in eugenicist ideas of culling the herd to select for better superpowers when superpowers are explicitly nonheritable (unless you’re Andre) really annoyed me. What was he actually trying to achieve with that?
