No, the latest episode of Gen V isn’t about collegiate supes stuck in a jungle-themed board game or cartridge. They’re stuck somewhere imaginary, but it’s not nearly as fun as Jack Black’s impersonation of a sassy high school girl trapped in a middle-aged man’s body. “Jumanji” follows the Guardians of Godolkin after they learn their beloved mind controller Cate (Maddie Phillips) has been wiping their memories without consent on behalf of Dean Shetty (Shelley Conn).

Maddie Phillips welcomes us into Cate’s hellacious upbringing with disassociated, heartbreaking gazes, opening the door to a sorrowful episode about children failed by Compound V, their famil...
