Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

saberjane19 I actually just finished watching the whole 8 episodes that were supposed to be aired as the first season of this series and, surprisingly, I was satisfied and delighted with how the story ended. After reading bad reviews about My Generation, I initially thought it was going to be just a waste of time. But I guess I was wrong and I'm thankful that I gave the show a chance.It's a pseudo documentary about the lives of 9 high school students 10 years after their graduation. At first, I find the story lines (for each of the characters) rather depressing. They presented what has become of the main characters after 10 years and how they have unfinished businesses with their past or family issues, etc. It's like they all have problems with themselves and with other people - and that's just basically all there is to resolve. But the good thing is, they actually tackled each and every characters' plot in the succeeding episodes (except for Falcon - I think his character wasn't visible and significant at all). And while they show each and every characters' story, they touched on some constructs (life, freedom, patriotism, love, marriage, parenthood, and basically all the realities of life) which is good. It was in the 4th or 5th episode, in my own opinion, that it has kind of given the audiences a feel or a hint of what's going to happen towards the end that you get excited for how they're going to show it. And it presented a decent ending - it was open ended (especially for Steven, Jackie, and Caroline). The whole season has 8 episodes and I wouldn't want it any other way. It's a series that's only good for just one season since there's not more plot or conflicts to resolve.

Cameron Schnell My Generation is a completely fresh and original idea that does more than deliver a story...It delivers a sad truth. This show is Based on the lives of 9 people who all graduated in 2000 and were picked to film their graduation and talk about what their future goals were. The age old "where do you see yourself in 10 years"? And from there the show delivers the classic stereotypes, one wants to be an actress, one a scientist, another a pro athlete, and yet another wants to be a family man...Then from there the show fast forwards 10 years and starts showing what all these people are ACTUALLY doing...with not so surprising results...and I think this is where the show TRULY delivers.I graduated in 2004 but I started high school in 2000 as a Freshman. I remember being asked the same question by so many people "where do you see yourself in X many years". And I always gave the same answer...I wanted to be an actor. Lucky for me, I haven't given up on my dream...I am living in LA trying to act and, although its a major struggle, its completely worth it. But I had so many friends who, when asked that same question, gave equally stunning answers...doctors, lawyers, teachers, musicians...and the sad truth is that I don't keep in touch with any of my friends from high school because none of them went on to do any of those things...Relating this back to the show...this is what we, as viewers, are presented with; a broken circle of friendships derived from the lack of people following their dreams. We are thrust in to this circle where we sit and watch as awkwardly, by several different turn of events, this group is brought back together and they are forced to face the reality that High school is a safety net...a place where heads are filled with false promises and dreams are exploited.To the people who are watching this show and rating it such low scores, are you really that out of touch with life? Do you not see that our world is not a happy place? REAL people's stories don't get wrapped up in hour long episodes...REAL events don't always have happy endings...this show is trying something different and I think it should be praised for that. For My own generation...this show is about as real as it gets...however sad that might be.

Staniel13 My Generation is a wonderful show with a lot of promise. The "documentary" style of the show was very authentic. The settings as well as the style of filming was very true to documentaries. The actors portray their characters with great realism. None of the emotions seemed forced or fake. Granted the storyline was a little slow but what documentary starts out with a bang... there is always a build up to the main event. I also loved the message that high school is a world of dreams and false hopes and that for most of us ten years out of high school reality has hit and life has taken a completely different route then ever expected. I cannot wait to see what My Generation has in store...

AltaireIII My Generation chronicles 9 high school students 10 years after their graduation in Austin, TX. The stereotypical high school groups are well represented. Face it, everyone in high school is part of a group and everyone has a label regardless of how accurate it is.Ten years later all roads lead to Austin even for those who no longer live there. Without going into much detail, the pilot episode manages to give us all a brief back story on each character. An in depth history is not possible for all 9 characters in a one hour show.I found the acting to be authentic and properly reserved. As strangers are rarely forthcoming upon initial introduction, these 9 strangers are the same way. As time passes more is to be learned.My only initial hard knock on this show is nothing was resolved in Episode 1 and perhaps one story line could wrap up with each installment. The story lines that run now don't have the legs to go past 3 episodes. This is cause for concern. Dragging out a storyline is just as bad as ending it too soon.I do look forward to next week's episode and the ones to come. Give My Generation a try. I think you'll want to see more.
