Generation

I've found that when it comes to HBO, people over 30 are going to have an issue with how the teens are portrayed. I'm 18 and I found the show to be believable and raw and beautiful because Its literally happening to me. This isn't a show for close minded adults and immature children.

I enjoy this series and I am 72. It is not perfect, it is boring in places and it has many dark themes.

When it comes to learning about life, love and living, all teens struggle to learn their identity and where they "fit in," if at all. The only differences between my friends in high school and those you see in this series, is the music, hair styles, Instagram and their ability to actually be themselves, instead of trying to live up to their parent's expectations. In that respect, this series is refreshing.

To prove to you that I am 72, to the director: "If you insist on showing us texting on cell phones, please try to hold the camera steady!" :-)

This series started off really good, with interesting characters and stories. The stories of the different teenagers we're all really interesting to follow. But it lacked consistency, especially towards the end. About halfway through it got kind of messy and it was getting harder to understand the characters' actions.

I guess bad reviews come from narrow minded people who get annoyed when sexuality is shown without any hindrance. Well, it's not a hell of a show but it's what it is: real life for teenagers nowadays.

I expected this series to be extremely bad with all the negative reviews... but it's not. It's no where near perfect or amazing but it's not as bad as some of these people are claiming it is...it's worth watching
