We live in a world where there are teddy bears ready to explain to toddlers how to engage in consensual sadomasochistic cutting, but we're banning corrupting books about heavy topics like how Cindy has two dads and that's okay.

Latest season of Gen V is in the books and, if you haven’t been watching, spoiler alert…it’s great! Far less nihilistic and indulgently edgelord-y than The Boys. It has its shocking moments too, but there’s real heart to it. Best superhero show you aren’t watching! Give it a chance.
