Generation Hustle

Some of the episodes were ehh. The biggest disappointment with HBO is the fact they air an episode about someone who is still scamming people using means of viral success. Talk about free advertising. Not exactly sure who at HBO decided that was a good idea.

This "documentary" is shallow and, most damning for a documentary, not intelligent. Generation Hustle seemed like the kind of "investigative journalism" done by a semi-successful YouTuber - not on par with the quality we've come to expect from HBO/Cinemax.

I understand there is a shortage of content but why are the HBO Execs greenlighting so much junk? If we keep turning on shows on HBO/Cinemax that are garbage we'll cancel our premium channels. Reruns would be better than this. This is what passes for entertainment in the Covid era? Yuck.

Great show! Has a very interesting way of revealing the true story of each episode. Each episode seems to be talking about a positive or a dream situation and turns into a story about fraud and how that web unravels. I was worried at first when watching the first episode, was even going to turn it off, but after leaving it on the show ended up being exactly what I was looking for in a twist of storytelling. I think the show mastered making it seem like some glamorous cheesy reality show like doc and switching it to some thing great as the episode goes on. Worth watching to pass the time if your a fan of this kind of crime documentary.

Take note of the tone, the music accompaniment and how each ending is anti climatic. Solid idea but feels like a grad school project.

This show is absolutely amazing!

Very well produced and directed Documentary Series I've seen in YEARS!

HBO/MAX is the king of documentary films.

These are a set of amazing stories about very well educated Con-Artists.

Each episode is very addictive. They go deep into the individual (Con-Artist) and what caused them to commit these brazen acts. I'm not sure if the negative reviews on here but I found this show/series amazing!

If you enjoy very well put together docu-series... this is up your alley!

Enjoy.
