After the first season of The Boys became a big hit, Amazon Prime created more seasons and expanded the universe with both animated and live-action spinoffs. Gen V is one of these, and it features a new group of young heroes – some with powers as strong as those we’ve seen in the original series.
As a big sci-fi fan, I can tell you that watching Altered Carbon is a full-on experience. You really have to pay attention because every little detail matters, and the show builds this incredibly intense mood with a really muted visual style.
