ABC just can't do it.

Ok so as we all know the first episode of My Generation aired thursday night and to my surprise i was disappointed. The pros was the story line, way how everything looked and the history they covered in that one hour. The cons however out weigh the good. I felt the style of how the characters interacted with the camera crew was kind of awkward. Some lady in the back ground who you never see asks questions out of the blue, the office has the same style of shooting but you never hear a voice and the characters have there own interviews without questions just their responses, which gives the viewer an inside look into their thoughts.

Another bad element was the acting. I felt the best actor was the nerd, right off the bat he was likable and had a sense of realness except for the fight scene in the bar. The actors just seem awkward with each other and maybe they will get over it and grow closer but we'll see. I also feel their humor was next to non existent. and the sex jokes were in bad taste. To be honest it was unnecessary and random. The office has them but its funny and childish about it not dirty.

So i hope the show makes some turns towards the right direction but i know. I feel there are just too many stories going on at the same time to really get anywhere. I think office flows so well with the different characters because they really only focus on four of the characters lives outside the office at a time and everyone is together for in put at work.    

My Generation has some kinks to work out and hopefully it changes before it gets cancelled.

  1. When I first heard about this show, I thought it was gonna be a real documentary... not just filmed like one with actors instead of real testimonials... I personally would have liked it more if it were indeed real peope
