    Anyone who whimsically tells you this is honest is not. Anyone who tells you this is funny is not. Anyone who tells you this is "real" is not.

    Watch 5 minutes of the show and then tell me with a straight face it's worthy of TV, much less HBO. Who is in charge of the asylum anymore? Lena?

    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.

    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.
