Teenage life is full of buzz – that’s what the guys from the TV show “Generation” think. Each of them wants to be cool, handsome, charming, wealthy and at the same time look like an adult. But is it that simple? After all, bold dreams lead to dire consequences and necessarily affect the reputation. But not everyone cares about it…
“Generation ss 2”: release date, announcement
The continuation of the teen drama “Generation” is not worth waiting for, since in September 2021 the project management officially announced its closure. The exact reason for this decision is unknown. Most likely, the reason was the low ratings, which did not allow the producers to count on the new season.
The show covers real problems familiar to many teenagers and parents, therefore it is relevant for viewing for two generations at once.
Plot
Chester loves bright looks. He paints his hair and nails, argues with adults, wears short tops, exposing his hairy belly. Teachers constantly reproach him for his appearance, although the guy is a good student, plays for the school’s water polo team and is popular among his classmates. Everyone knows him as a kind and sympathetic person.
At the next session with a school psychiatrist, Chester again tries to prove that he is not prone to suicide. According to adults, his behavior literally “screams” about such inclinations. The guy considers himself cheerful and easily parries such attacks. But the new psychotherapist is still on guard. Chester likes this perky man.
Arianna also radiates energy. She often makes dirty jokes about gay parents and fits easily into any society. Naomi shares details of her personal life with her brother Nathan. He, in turn, is afraid to admit to the girl that he has long dreamed of men, girls are not very attracted to him. Nathan is ashamed of such thoughts, but he cannot turn against himself.
Greta suffers from family problems. She and her brother live with their aunt and understands that the mother is simply using her sister to not take care of the children. On this basis, scandals are constantly thundering at home. Greta likes girls, especially one beauty who specializes in photography. Greta wants to win her favor, but doubts herself.
Riley is that charming girl who is the object of Greta’s adoration. The girl loves to take pictures, is friends with Nathan and knows all his secrets. She helps Nathan arrange a meeting with Chester, but things don’t go well. For all.
Each teenager is a separate deep story, the roots of which lie in the family. Everything that they fail, they easily forget, but some seemingly insignificant events touch them to tears. Which teenager will go down the dangerous path? Is Chester really that happy? Will Greta deal with her fears? Will Nathan tell his sister about his addictions?
