Generation Loss: The Social Experiments

At first I tuned into the first episode a bit bored, since yes, it does start off a bit slow. It seems like a silly streamer bit with silly acting, but starts to get a bit odd as the plot continues into the second episode. I won't spoil anything in this review, so just know if it seems boring and "tame" for a horror series, give it a chance... the ending left me genuinely speechless and I can't wait for the series to continue someday. Ranboo and the other actors are charismatic and made even the "boring" parts enjoyable, and even if you know very few or none of the creators in this project, it's still something that'll leave people hooked and interested for more.

Generation Loss: The Social Experiments really is a one of a kind media. If you have never watched anything created by Ranboo or even know who he is, please out of everything watch this series. It is by no means a traditional show, and some parts may seem awkward or paced weirdly, but that is honestly all due to the format. Genloss was streamed live, and once you really start seeing the hints of the story after you reach episode 2, it makes so much of what's going on make sense. The finale is the hardest hitting and no spoilers, something you will think about for a long while after you are done watching. This was a passion project (the first of this kind and scale he has ever done!!) created by a 19 year old Twitch streamer who straight up says he is not an actor. But even so, he managed to portray a gut-wrenching performance and while its not perfect, it has to be one of the most well produced livestreamed medias out there to date. There are mountains of social commentaries and analysis you can do based off of only around 5 hours of total content. I cannot WAIT to see where the story goes from here, because this is only the beginning. Watch Generation Loss!!

The show starts a bit slow, and in the first episode you might even be thinking, "Am I really watching a horror show?" But trust the process, it gets very good after that, and you may even find the first episode disturbing after watching the next. When I finished watching this show, I was a bit amazed, it really gets you thinking, and I loved that.

Notes :

• If you like the Saw series or the Truman Show, you'll like this one, just give it a try!

• This was made by a 19 year old! Ranboo is a variety twitch streamer and content creator. They've been working on this for quite a long time, getting an idea of a horror project sometime in 2021, I believe!

Initially, I was slightly disappointed, after following the making of this project since the beginning it wasn't what i expected. However. After reading through other peoples views and fan theories (most of which turned out to be true) I was really able to appreciate the plot and content as a whole. I believe this is one of a kind and can't wait to see where Ranboo the creator, takes it next. Going to re-watch it this week :D. The cinematography and mise-en-scene is amazing, I'm a college student taking media studies, film studies and English lit and i think this is a master piece, getting past the initial 'silliness' and realizing it is due to a theme of censorship within the first episode give the narrative more depth and opens it up for more active spectorship.

For the first three episodes, and the first part "the social experiments", this is something i would rewatch for sure!!! The creator, ranboolive, hyped it up a lot, and it DOES live up to it. Lots of unanswered questions, cool characters, potential for many many horror elements and very dark behind the lens of twitch TOS LMAO

i'm very excited about where this is going !! The cinematics in the last 20 minutes of the last episode had me holding my breath and nearly had me in tears. Ranboo's acting is purposeful. The first episode is portrayed as a silly gameshow, introducing characters and the idea of mindcontrol, but the third episode is very dark, and stranger things esque :D.
