Marie’s awkward schoolyard feelings toward Jordan fall to the wayside once the gang figures out who’s behind their nonconsensual mental trespassing, which plays into the complexity of young adults still finding their paths. Everyone’s wiped memories point towards problematic psychic Rufus (Alexander Calvert) as the culprit, but an even nastier reality is at play. “Welcome to the Monster Club” showcases how the storytelling on Gen V can and should differ from The Boys. Read the rest of our Gen V Episode 4 Review – “The Whole Truth” You can’t fault Gen V for being its rebellious self, though there’s something unfulfilling about how 'The Whole Truth' chooses storytelling tomfoolery over a clean dismount." – Matt Donato There’s still so much to love in 'The Whole Truth,' from Tek Knight’s bastardized Law & Order schtick to the nurturing of young love between characters looking for a sliver of hope under Godolkin’s corrupt oversight.
