This was such a treat. Like, it would have been easy to make a simple and mediocre spin-off to The Boys since fans would definitely watch it and want to keep up with the universe, but this show absolutely stands out as its own thing with a compelling story and characters while still managing to remain connected to The Boys in meaningful ways. You can see where the events of this show will lead in the greater universe, but it still has its own great standalone story. Manages to comment on a lot of topics surrounding emerging adulthood and college life/relationships as well, but all still with that The Boys lens, which makes for some really interesting and entertaining moments. The twists and turns of the characters were executed well, and the story kept going in different directions from what I expected in really intriguing ways. Overall this was just really engaging, exciting, and interesting. Has the type of stuff you love from The Boys, but packaged a little differently and presented with its own unique themes and characters. Don't love it as much as The Boys at least for now, but all around this was good stuff.
