Sorry, this movie sucks

disgusting, overrated, pointless

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

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 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.

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.
