    An exhausting nihilism fuels Genera+ion, which grafts the preening, lukewarm snark of Gossip Girl onto the bracing pseudo-realism of Larry Clark’s Kids.

    An ambitious but muddled, often cringeworthy show that frequently mistakes shock or bluntness for subversion.

    this show is GREAT representation of what it likes to go through high school as a queer poc. There’s humor, angst, and a great sense of community.
