I honestly liked Gen V more, personally. The Boys has kinda ended up in a position where it's constantly trying to one up itself and do more and more outrageous things. Gen V had the gore and edge but doesn't necessarily revolve around it. And it's nice to watch a show where the people you're supposed to be rooting for are actually likeable.
Don't get me wrong, The Boys has been a wild ride, but at this point I'll be glad to see a final season.
