“Into the woods” we go for the season finale of GEN V. The spinoff that could have soared to the heights of Homelander flying through the air, but instead, simply hovered close to the ground. The finale was jam-packed with the violent action we’ve come to love in this series and THE BOYS.

My breakdown of the good-not-great S2 of INVASION. E1-E3 “INVASION is a sci-fi thriller that spans the globe, offering minuscule seconds of hope and beating the odds.
