Generation is comfortable just following the kids around and letting them exist. It’s a bit more uneven when things get plottier or when the focus shifts to the grown-ups.
-
Toggling between horny and clueless, the characters on “Genera+ion” feel less like 20-somethings than the pervs of “Euphoria” and less wholesome than the ones on “Sex Education.” Unfortunately, it’s everything that happens in between that’s a bit of a confused mess.
-
Genera+ion is enamored with the superficial things that make these characters feel contemporary, without showing much interest in what makes them distinctive just as people. ... The teens are mostly appealing, if thinly drawn; their parents are much emptier.

Jun 28, 2021this 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.
