Generation Loss: The Social Experiments

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.

While at first the pacing may seem awkward I can assure you its entirely due to the format of the show. Generation loss was broadcast live to the creators (Ranboo) twitch channel and had interactive elements where the audience could choose what happens. Another thing to keep in mind is none of the people in the show are professional actors but content creators so while yes the acting admittedly is not always the best the comedy never disappoints. The show is filled with commentary about how content creators are viewed and how their entire being is often boiled down to just one thing. Generation loss is also filled with references and parallels to other shows/movies (including but not limited to The Truman show and Saw) and I truly believe there is something for everyone. I'd say even if you don't find something to enjoy in most of the episodes the ending makes it all worth it. I won't spoil it here as its best to go into the last episode in the dark, but it truly is a masterpiece.

This has to be the best thing I've ever seen in absolutely ages! Acting was top tier especially in the last episode, been absolutely hyper fixating on this for the past month or so before it even came out and honestly o would do anything to watch it for the first time again the utter shock over everything that happened I hope this gets continued for a sequel because it would honestly make my year. I would recommend this to anyone it's so good and I've ranted about it to absolutely everyone I know as this can either just be a show or you could go into the lore and theorys on it wich there are many!

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 starts off with a very slow, very uninteresting first episode. It's silly, goofy, and a bit painful to watch, but seeing the small details makes you want to wait around and see where this could possibly go. And oh boy, does this payoff. I think this is perhaps the most effective set-up I've ever seen in a piece of media, going from me cringing during the first episode to being genuinely scared and at the edge of my seat in the final episode, my heart aching. Generation Loss is such a unique idea and I'm incredibly excited to see where it will go.

TLDR: Give it a chance. It's worth it.
