Binge, from Thursday, March 11
They never get any less full-on, these edgy TV series about high-school kids these days and all the wild sex and drugs they’re apparently having. But
Generation, a HBO Max series created by writer-director Daniel Barnz (
Phoebe in Wonderland,
Cake) and his teenage daughter, Zelda, accentuates the comedy of teenage naivety, even as it seeks out the gaps in its young characters’ armor, sliding its skewers into their deepest wounds and vulnerabilities.
Are the kids alright? Chase Sui Wonders, Justice Smith, Uly Schlesinger and Haley Sanchez in Generation.
