    That is how I feel about the majority of the franchise.

    The Boys

    • The first season was great.
    • The second season was SSDD that was carried by Stormstrike.
    • The third season was just SSDD with no new character to save it.
    • I made it to the toilet scene in the Supe Orgy house in the fourth season and noped out.
    • I won’t bother watching the fifth season.

    I checked out GenV out of boredom and the first season was entertaining. I was a lot of the same old, same old, but it was entertaining. I did maybe three episodes of S2 before I dumped it.

    In short the majority of the franchise has felt like watching a comedian bomb their set.

      I dont know what SSDD is but the show has always looked boring to me. The production ws fine for season one as a counter to the overproduced marvels but as it went on it just looked so flat and boring, even the real world doesnt look like that.

      Gen V kind of the same deal, interesting characters but somehow boring show. Season 2 episode one was the end for me.

      Yeah I also got bored immediately after season 1. Which is par for the course with Kripke, the guy can’t finish series.

      I fell off watching as it became clear all that was left was shock humor from random kinks being on screen. Also it’s not the fault of the show, but the parody got way to close to reality at times.
