Generation (TV Series) Desert Island (2021) User Reviews

Wrong answer, Sam.

[rrtiverton · 7/10 · 31 March 2021]

I do not know one child, adolescent or teen (self included) that did not develop an absolute crush on a teacher. I think Sam's total, angry rebuke of Chester was wrong. For a guidance counselor, he showed very little empathy for what Chester was going through. His response should have been "I am flattered! You are adorable, and someday I know that you'll meet someone really special!" and de-escalate the issue at hand. Instead, he left it up to Chester, who has proven capable of suicidal tendencies, to sort out the raw emotions alone.

The show has been well written; cringe-worthy and dark humor. I think the writers have nailed (whatever this generation is they are going after).

Call the Fire Department

Only two words to describe this episode: wonderful script.

The construction, which goes back to the beginning of the series, of the strange relationship between Chester and Sam comes to a point of tension very well handled by the writers. It all culminates in a terrifying ending brilliantly constructed throughout the entire episode... I mean... I'm speechless.

I started watching this series a little bit around the time it was announced its cancellation, and looking at episodes like this I can only get incredibly frustrated, as this series is a precious gem that everyone should appreciate.

So much potential wasted

There's a great show here, and this episode- which forces a game as an excuse to have characters say how they feel rather then show it- is one of the reasons why it doesn't get there.

Unlikeable teens growing through experiences is a great subject for drama, but this show never lets them act for others but only for themselves.

How is this the penultimate episode, what drama is really left? They expect so much for 'themselves' but give nothing back to others.

What a mean spirited show.
