Waste of time

Perfect cast and a good story

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

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.

This is without a doubt the worst show on the TV schedule right now, despite ABC saying it is the greatest and a trend setter, yeah right!! I was seriously appalled at how bad the acting was and the situations were corny and the writing was pathetic. My suggestion to any potential viewer is to read the reviews and make your own decision. You have to ask yourself when seeing the ABC promo's why are they trying to tell you that this is a great show? Because shows like this cost them nothing!! No name actors, and low production costs and they hope that shows like this pick up a viewer-ship..Whiny girls saying how they hate men based on their limited relationship experience and feeling destroyed when their friends don't do what they say..These shows are truly pathetic and deserve to be canned fast!!!

"My Generation" is a pseudo documentary about kids from the class of 2000, and interchanges between footage from then and footage from 2010. When I first heard about it I thought it was a genuinely original idea for a show that could focus on the most recent crop of adults to come up into the "real world." Apparently the real world is a miserable, depressing place. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE is sad and frustrated in this half-rate attempt at genuine social drama. The shows biggest issue is simply that it tries too hard; it seems too obvious that the sins of their use or of their parents is apparent in adulthood. I have trouble buying into the idea of collective misery in a show examining today's budding adults. It's the kind of show that's very two-dimensional, but will make viewers feel as if they're sophisticated because it "looks gritty" and strives to feel "real." But ultimately it fails whole heartedly. It's not profound, it's not edgy ... it's just an unfortunate mess.

Interesting idea, but bad on execution So here is the deal I graduated in 1999 one year before the students on this show. I decided to watch the first episode of this show because I thought it would be interesting to see how they setup people about my age who are 10 years out from high school.Unfortunately, this show is just bad. Its very slow, its boring, and you learn where everyone is in their life 10 years later (which is the first episode) I can not image why else I would continue watching this show.I would recommend passing on this show.
