'Giving Youth' and 'Real Boys' were better, even 'Univer', and this is OMG. This should not be seen by teenagers or parents! They will think that this is the case or that all teenagers are like this.
The characters are incomprehensible, as if adults play teenagers or teenagers adults, I don’t understand. Watched through Force 1 episode. In general, it is unpleasant.
In the tenth minute I learned the secret of ‘farewell sex’ – it turns out that this is a test.
I do not recommend this series to watch. Pedagogy assures that the example must be positive in order to gain a foothold, no negative particles are taken into account, that is, from the phrase
The brain simply omits the particle.
To see cattle@nov and uttyrks, you do not need to go far, so watch a good, high-quality movie. Neither to the entertainment industry, and especially to the art of this shydevor does not apply.
As much as I respect Russian cinema, but this is a fail - in the language of teenagers.
Only for a bright picture and shooting not on a smartphone my assessment
Hello there! Watch the first season of the new series on TNT “Is it easy to be young?” The show didn’t surprise me, it showed what I expected to see. Here we are shown the life of modern youth. I’m about the same age (21 years old) as the main characters of the series, so it makes sense for me to evaluate. You can see that the images are not taken from the ceiling, in front of us are quite real guys. I have met such young people who have the main problem in life - how to live when parents give only 500 rubles a day for pocket expenses. I talked to girls who can give their boyfriend sex for a month. I also know guys built on pontiffs. Such young people exist (precisely exist, not live) among us, fortunately, not all live and think like this, there are many adequate, brought up on normal human values.
I still liked the veracity of the images shown in the series. The actors were good, it feels like they played themselves, although I think they were looking for real people with the character of the characters of the series. Maybe that's why they got the roles. In terms of the actors did not like that called Andrei Kryzhny. This guy viewer TNT knows the role of "Banana" in the series "Fizruk". You know, seeing one face in different series is not very pleasant.
The idea, of course, is not new. To be honest, it’s very much like “Real Boys,” only worse. There's some humor, most jokes are banal, and the rest just make you smile. The whole plot is noticeable somehow, it seems that sketches of different situations show me everything. Just guys get into different events and funny through them go through – the whole plot.
In the end, I'll put "Is it easy to be young" average grade. The idea is not new, the script is weak, but plausible images, good acting and some humor. If you like the series with TNT, you should at least watch the series, but I can’t guarantee that you will like it. For me, the series is average. It's worse than "Fizruk," "Interns," "Real Boys," but TNT had TV shows like this one. Thank you for your attention.
Like any TNT viewer, I expected something original, funny, maybe even instructive from the series. After the first episode, my expectations collapsed like a house of cards.
The show was meant to depict the lives of teenagers of our time. In the end, a batch of series came out, when viewing which gives the impression that the script was written by people who this generation did not even bother to consider it properly, to penetrate or what. The genre of the series is comedy, but in fact I want to cry when watching. A huge amount of superficial humor, worn and wretched jokes that will not make anyone laugh absolutely.
Heroes are not particularly pleasing to the eye either. Everyone is stereotypical. Stupid pursuit of likes, sex, clothes and popularity on the network. Superficially and soullessly played a little TP, blogger (about old for such roles), handsome metrosexual, Caucasian, whiny-heeled, etc. But we have seen this before, and not once, and certainly in the best performance.
Only Lika (Elizaveta Kononova) and took out the whole series on her fragile girl shoulders, for which a huge human thank you to her!
': Watch without your parents! Watch without children!' loudly and confidently declares us advertising this show. Children to watch to assess the level of their intellectual and spiritual development, and parents to start worrying, how their child is not like the heroes of the series. It would be better not to look at it.
And in conclusion, I want to convey to the viewers of this show who have their own children that the vast majority of schoolchildren do not behave like this at all, do not faint. But start worrying all the same, suddenly in your son / daughter already appear features of heroes.
Take care of the family and do not look at all nonsense like this.

Honestly, I am surprised by the negative reviews of this series. In my opinion, he does not deserve such low marks. If it were some UG like "Nevloba", I would understand.
The characters in the series are spelled out perfectly. The characters in the series are easily recognizable, because we often meet them in life. A young blogger-loser, who dreams of thousands of likes in the social network, but all attempts to achieve cheap fame end with files. Her boyfriend is a prodigal alpha male who simultaneously exploits two masochistic nerds. A cute TP is a young bitch who is used to manipulating guys. Her brother is an average teenager, however, not deprived of ingenuity. Another teenager is a horribly insecure boy and his Gothic girlfriend, who compensates him for this insecurity. Majorka from Rublevka, who decided out of a whim to live the life of mere mortals. Thrash Caucasians, bringing any case to complete absurdity. The style of the capital is either metrosexual or gay.
The series is made in the style of “Real boys”. But if the Perm “Kolyan and Company” acting is very clumsy and rough, then all the roles are smooth, “photoshopped”. Yes, the “boys” took originality, as well as humor (which, however, by the third or fourth season was exhausted). Maybe it's not as funny here as it was in Season 1 of "Real Boys." But it's easy, fun, easy. In the language of online comments, I smiled. "Is It Easy to Be Young" really lifts the mood, starting with the screensaver and soundtrack. A beautiful picture of what is happening on the screen makes the series juicy, summer. I got a 10.
It is a pity that only 8 episodes were shown. I'd like to hope for a sequel.
I have not watched TV series on the TNT channel for quite a long time (however, as well as TV series in principle) and when I heard about the new project “It’s Easy to Be Young”, I decided to make an exception (why I’ll tell you about it later). As I expected, it turned out that neither is a copy of existing series, and created by the same TNT. As Chuck Palahniuk wrote, a copy taken from a copy, which in turn was taken from a copy. The idea of the series has nothing to do with the eternal question stated in the title, the screenwriters only state an opinion corresponding to the success of previous near-sighted films, more and more bringing it to the absurd, without stepping aside.
Now let’s move on to the details. So, in “Is it easy to be young” uses a shooting technique borrowed from “Real boys”, namely – frequent interviews with actors commenting on their actions in a particular situation. One of the differences is that the operator is not the only one, and he constantly pursues one or another character, it may seem that this fact is implied, since the intervals between the scenes are quite large, but I think the matter is in the inexperience of writers fixated on a number of ideas - addiction to alcohol, cigarettes, social networks, promiscuity. Absolutely the same as we see in “Real boys”, “Fizruk”, “Chernobyl” and so on. We show the lives of teenagers who during the series do not go to school, do not communicate with their parents, live as if by themselves - but you will agree, this is very implausible - if you compare with the same "School" by Valeria Guy Germanika, which shows the relationship of teenagers in school with classmates and teachers, outside with friends, at home with parents and so on. “Is it easy to be young” is a set of scenes related to each other by the actors, which manifest such stereotyped images as a gopnik, a rich girl dating an ordinary guy (this image, of course, is written off from “Real Boys”), a homosexual (apparently another ridiculous attempt to give the series modernity, relevance, openly insulting representatives of sexual minorities, which, apparently, is the result of haste and unqualified creators), not shining with a special mind of the girls.
The idea would be interesting if the writers somehow implicitly indicated that the lines of conduct played in the plot are not correct. But they do the opposite, promoting all the values that afflict modern society. And to some extent, they can be understood – the goal of the creators is to create a resource that attracts a sufficiently large audience in the shortest possible time. Since the choice fell on the series, it is about teenagers, then the type to which the vast majority of the audience aspires (simply put, cattle) and show them this ideal, brought to the maximum point (let’s not forget that you need to use the success of “Physruk”). All this suggests some thoughts about the spin-off, relating to all modern TV series with the participation of teenagers at once (at least on TNT).
Why did I start watching this show knowing that nothing good was going to happen? I wondered how TNT would reveal the image of Varvara, a Goth who appears only in the middle of the sixth series. Naturally, I was disappointed. Not a drop of truth is shown, again, the stereotype that has developed in the majority, which, apparently, either writers, or producers, or both at once, or someone suggested it to them. Take a typical (according to the creators) girl, dress her in black, add as much aggression as possible - and the image of the Goth is there. Leave the rest the same. This is not the best way to show the image of Goth in “IT crowd”, compare it with the image of the emo from “School”.
Thus, “Is it easy to be young” – a series that is another way to quickly make money on television, and it is very clearly visible – there is nothing new, missed a huge number of nuances – shown only the same type of scenes, besides not a drop of funny. I want to cry at the thought of what will happen to teenagers who watched the series. There is a feeling that the scenarios of such pictures write not only that “under the stick”, but also on the basis of the ideas worn out along and across, and all the problems are then blamed on the lack of education and the shortcomings of the education system. So we are slowly self-destructing as an intelligent civilization. Don’t watch TV, especially TV shows like this.
The ad and title promise a comedy about life under 18. That is, a series about the lives of teenagers, about their problems, funny situations in which they get and how funny, childish, trying to get out of them. What's the bottom line?
And in the end, no "comedy", no "about life", no "up to 18" - nothing. The recent TNT-Fizruk project was not only funny, but also instructive. He taught that boys should be boys; that you can not give up on life; that not everything always goes right, etc. In fact, he taught the right things. And how many catchphrases do I remember from there... From "Is It Easy to Be Young," I expected something like this. But, alas. In order of everything.
1) Plot. He seems to be, but stupid and stupid. Everything is tied to youthful love and the desire to quickly satisfy the recently manifested sexual needs. In fact, all the talk is about that. Who? Who? When? Why? And all this is described very simple and primitive. Allegedly funny situations are so stupid that only feeble-minded people can laugh at them.
(2) Heroes. In principle, the film should be shown several typical images of modern high school students: Botan, TP-shki, Rich girl without friends, Caucasian, Gopnik, Metrosexual and Simple guy suffering from lack of carnal pleasures. It seems that all this can be played quite amusingly, but in fact these images not only do not cause even a smile (not to mention a laugh), but even annoying! Of course, there is also the fault of the actors - they play, as I said, so themselves. But the main problem is the discrepancy between the characters and the images. Why doesn’t the Caucasian look like a Caucasian? Why does Botan look like a modern, fashionable, rattled guy? The heroes themselves are immoral. They go easily to rob a house. Cheating your best friend for your own benefit is normal. For the sake of "likes" girls are ready for anything. And of course, everyone is driven only by the desire to indulge in carnal pleasures - this is their meaning of life.
(3) Actors. They're not. Gopnik - "Banana" from "Fizruk" plays "Banana" from "Fizruk." Although they try to look truthful, they are weak. The Caucasian is clearly overdoing it. The best, perhaps, worked out the image of the effeminate metrosexual. At least he looks real.
(4) The show's message. This product is meant as a series for schoolchildren. Just for which students, I didn’t quite understand. Schoolchildren in the series are potential thieves, traitors, gopniks and prostitutes. The creators of the series, apparently, do not know anything about children, or have obvious problems with children in their families, since they believe that the main value of young people is likes on Facebook and Instagram. The goal of a lifetime is to hang out with someone.
In other words. Watching it to laugh makes no sense. Watching just to see makes no sense. It makes no sense to watch this series. He was completely rotten at the beginning of his birth. Nothing but irritation in a normal person can cause such creativity.

So, another TNT sitcom. The sitcom is new and the problems are old. It doesn’t even make sense to list – everything has already been said before me, both in the reviews for this series and its earlier counterparts. I want to ask a different question.
TNT has long tested my patience by brazenly ridiculing Russian cities and their residents. Of course, in his satirical frenzy, he is certainly not alone, but it is from the light hand of this channel that “mighty” jokes about Torzhok, Krasnodar, Kirov, etc., pour down from our screens. It may be annoying, but we are used to the snobbery of the metropolitans to some extent. Do I want to get used to TNT’s new “trend” of racism? No, no, no, no, no.
That's a wake-up call. Domestic racism has leaked from kitchen conversations onto TV screens and shamelessly pretends to be satire. It does not matter to me whether it is satire or not, in the TV series “Is it easy to be young” unambiguous phrases and plot elements associated with the so-called “non-Russians” are presented as something taken from life, at which it is suggested to laugh and at which it is kind of natural and permissible to laugh together with the characters.
I don't want to laugh with them. I am half Russian and half Avarka. If that word doesn't mean anything to you, it's the people living in Dagestan. Probably the last thing I want in life is to endure the taunts coming from the federal channel. If the remark about “to make up with a black man” could still be tolerated – this reflects only the lack of elementary erudition among the authors who invented (yes, drew from life) this dialogue, because in the Western tradition the white race is often called “caucasian”, why – read for yourself. But after the dialogue in the spirit of "who is this monkey?" - "what? this or that?" referring to the toy gorilla and the "non-Russian" guy, I have no words left. Guys, this is racism.
There must be some difference between what is said in the kitchen and what is said on screens and in the media. All the more frightening to realize that many will find this “joke” witty, especially young people under 18. It is disgusting to know that cynical insults to everything that is important to you cannot be avoided anywhere. Frankly, I would like to hear a public apology from the authors of the series and the management of the TNT channel, but I understand that this is fantastic.

Even a pity to waste time on the description of this series, but another red review, able to reason people will not be superfluous.
1) Terrible actors. Very much.
2) Not funny, banal, stupidly copied from the Internet jokes. Half of them are about relationships, sex, alcohol and the rest of the “dignities” of TV series. How much humor has to do with social media! The authors believe that if you add every second of the phrase “remove from friends” and “it’s all difficult”, it will be very modern, funny and youthful!
(3) Extremely stereotyped images! There are no normal people here, there is only a Caucasian gopnik, girls obsessed with social networks and relationships, nerds-losers, and a metrosexual and cattle boy who plays this in all the series. Both in Physruk and Chernobyl. All these characters are completely brainless. They're just a set of stereotypes, and hence more fun jokes! Wow, a kakazan hits a pooch, aha. Oh, the beast dares the girl! T.P. calls a friend gay! Rjaka!
(4) Meaning. What's this show for anyway? The title hints that it will show some problems of the youth or even her life. This has nothing to do with reality! I sincerely hope that I will never meet such students in my life. Who's it for? For teenagers? I am afraid that many of them will follow the example of heroes. For adults? For some of them to consider all teenagers morons, and the other part to look at the relationship of schoolchildren? They'll probably like it all.
(5) Disgusting. Even when you see it, you want to turn off the TV. But I did not expect anything else from the beginning, it was immediately clear what would happen. They say that the physical assistant watches the cattle, in a sense it is. But who is watching this series?
Conclusion: I'm not just advising you, I'm asking you not to watch this. Do not show children, or else they will consider what is happening there as the norm.
Trying to portray modern teenagers, the directors portrayed a grand failure.
At the initial minutes of the first series, it becomes clear that the authors aimed to show teenage life too hyperbolized, the actors are not professionals, and, apparently, the scriptwriters too.
Surprisingly, the usual passage in a minibus can be played, while, if the series shows the stereotype of a shy boy, it will be shy on the verge of mental illness, if the victims of social networks, it will look like underdevelopment. I will not delve into the images of a gay (or metrosexual) guy and a guy of Caucasian nationality, whose images are shown so stereotypically that it borders on insulting these social groups. At the same time, no character aroused my sympathy, but rather the opposite - absolutely everyone was disgusted.
In the first episode, there is an episode where two heroines explain their desire to quit smoking with used arguments, and their game at this point is the level of the cheapest television advertising. At the same time, the allegedly started propaganda of quitting smoking is cut off by the fact that the heroines refuse this idea.
Being a comedy lover, I smiled while watching the first episode only once.
The series is not a sitcom, stretched is a comedy, which for some reason is also mixed with first-person inserts, where the characters talk about their attitude to a particular situation, not without the notorious playfulness.
To watch or not? It's your choice. I made a choice for myself.
Regarding evaluation: I do not like to negatively assess what people have worked on, but in this situation I do not see any argument in favor of putting this series at least 1 point more.

Either I’m too old or the characters in the show are too stupid, but I don’t understand their problems. Now I am 27 years old and I am leaning towards the second.
What can the new series, which premiered today on TNT, called "Is it easy to be young?" tell us, what can it teach us? Personally, I learned one thing for myself - when my daughter grows up and becomes a teenager, I'll fucking forbid her to sit on the Internet, I'll fucking take away her smartphone, and I'll fucking isolate her from all the possible companies that will gather kids who look like the heroes of this series! What are teenagers thinking about in this series? The answer is simple: nothing! Vacuum, emptiness, that's what's in their head. And the quotes from Vkontakte, of course.
The series consists of only 8 episodes and is a small sketch about a group of teenagers who consider themselves adults and think that everyone already knows and can do everything. They talk about their topics, hang out on the Internet, go to parties, suffer from a lack of money and do everything they want, except for lessons, of course. To look at them, to be honest, boring, and everyday life they are not fantasized by any amazing events. In conversations, continuous sex, endless likes and adult arguments about the relationship between the sexes. Humor is also built on this, there is humor here, but in minimal quantity and in low quality. I will not talk about the actors at all, they are simply not here.
If “Is It Easy to Be Young?” is viewed as a parody of the lives of today’s teenagers, ridiculing their current values, then it can still be viewed positively. Of course, there is still a chance that the next series will unfold and show itself from another more advantageous side, surprise and truly laugh, but given its small series, this is practically impossible. There are several good, funny and high-quality TV series on TNT, which every year result in new and new seasons, but “Is it easy to be young?” most likely the fate of such a project as “It is always sunny in Moscow”, or the same notorious “Nezlob”, it will simply pass, and everyone will forget about it.
At the end of the first series, the song of the band Anacondaz was pleased, for this, well, for the efforts I will put my own.

The advert was right: "Watch without parents! / Watch without children!" It is better for none of your loved ones to see it.
I don't even know where to start... I did not expect this series, but I decided to watch it out of interest. To say that I did not like him, I do not say anything.
The actors play terrible, the main problem is that half of them are far from 16-17. One of the actors is 23 and you can see that. He's not fit for the role. If you put Kutsenko in the role of a twenty-year-old burner of life, he will do everything he can, but you will not believe him because he is simply not suitable for this role. So it is here.
The purpose of a comedy series is to make the viewer laugh. Watching the first (and last for me) series, I smiled once - when it ended. There are no attempts to make the series laugh, well, maybe they are, but they are so weak that they do not cause even a smile. Of course, the series is an Oscar-winning drama that can plug Breaking Bad into the belt, but a comedy series was announced and a comedy series was advertised, and watching a comedy series I want to laugh, but as the creators of “Is It Easy to Be Young?” did not try, if they tried at all, they did not succeed.
TNT again decided to use the style of interviews with characters. However, unlike "Real Boys", it was much less successful here. If the "boys" had a show about Kolyan and interviews with characters, then in "Is it easy to be young?" and shooting on the phone, and on the camera of reporters, and interviews with characters from their friends, and interviews with characters from hell knows who. In general, porridge from shooting styles, it looks terrible and constantly causes bewilderment.
But what about the story and the characters, can they compensate for all the shortcomings? There you go.
Characters are walking collections of stereotypes. “gopnik”, “tp”, “terrible tp”, “loch”, “Caucasian”, “za**t”.
The plot is several of them and they are equally boring and uninteresting. I will list: “Loch thinks that to give tp”, “terrible tp parted with the gopnik”, “Caucasian presses for fuck”, “he really wants PSP”.
I strongly recommend that you stop watching this series, it is better to spend this half an hour reading or walking with friends in the park. There is nothing good about being young. As I did not try to find at least some positive sides - I failed. I would bet -10 out of 10, but since the minimum score of 1 I will put it.
1 out of 10
The answer is in the language, but I would like to hold the horses, hiding your verdict from you, so that there is at least some intrigue, but, to the deepest regret (here I cried: I do not regret it at all), no intrigue is required, because a new sitcom or series, if it is understood called "Is it easy to be young" can be brought into one category or another. For such projects there is one category, and its name is “garbage”.
Personally, I had enough of the premiere series to understand that further viewing is not required. Having raised such a truly philosophical issue in the title, the creators completed the work on saturating their creation with meaning, and began to read grief-publics in all the known social network to catch inspiration, so necessary when writing the script. Naturally, what are the sources, such are the results of their work.
I tried to understand, but did not understand what the creators wanted to convey to the viewer. Show the promiscuity of young people? Illiteracy? Self-interest and greed? Even racism is openly promoted! How can this be shown on open television? Come on, stick my nose in the genre column and close your eyes to all this nonsense, I don't understand humor. But how do you laugh at that? If that makes you laugh, I have nothing left to do but pity you.
In general, TNT once again missed what they put on the air. “Watch without parents!”, “Watch without children!” says the poster, I will say it easier: “Do not look at all!”.

On TNT starts a new comedy series “Is it easy to be young?” – an eight-part sitcom will show the life of ordinary Moscow teenagers during the summer holidays.
This is the first time TNT has collaborated with writers who have not previously written scripts for television series. Most of the roles were claimed by non-professional actors, and eight half-hour series were shot in a record twenty-four days. And most importantly, the new TNT project does not obey any known law of classical sitcom construction. According to the author of the sitcom Alexei Surkov, originally they were sketches that were not related to each other by a certain plot. And only over time, the sketch transformed into a comedy series.
In which, by the way, there are no adult characters. And the subtitle is, "Is there life before 18?" With the subtitle clear – let’s talk about the title. At the presentation of the series, I asked the creator a question they probably expected.
"Is it easy to be young?" One of the main films of perestroika - along with "Repentance" and "Little Faith". I remember watching it in early 1987, I remember queues at the cinema, I remember discussing it at the institute. Looking at the film of the Latvian documentarian Juris Podnieks, you understand why the country collapsed in less than five years. The problems of the then young are disappointment and disillusionment, disbelief in the slogans declared by the older generation, living contrary to the official ideology, despite total lies, attempts to break through the Iron Curtain with even a thought. And, of course, the eternal questions of finding your place in life.
Eternal? In the current series of the same name, all the problems are at the “given – not given” level. There's no money. And also - how many likes in social networks have accumulated.
Of course, gender relations, financial independence are also timeless things. So is the problem of self-esteem, albeit now expressed as silly likes. But do all the questions end there and there are no other problems for the “young” today? Is everything okay in the country where they grow up?
I asked the young actors who knew there was another movie of the same name. A lot of people raised their hands. Only one person admitted to seeing the film. But I was more interested in the older generation of sitcom creators - they consciously went to compare their work with the famous tape. The responses received were again expected. The authors also believe that the relationship of boys and girls, teenage experiences – the eternal topic. “In this series, young people face exactly the same challenges as people in their 35s and 40s.” Now the time is different, other gadgets, the globalization of the Internet, the euro is growing, the ruble is falling, oil is getting cheaper. But they have the same problems, and they do not care about the light bulb that is happening around. They think about love, about sex, about how to show off. And they solve their problems in different ways, including with the help of likes.
But the policy was deliberately abandoned (on TNT, however, it does not exist at all - and the channel lives under the slogan "We make the world funnier!"). Alexander Naumov, director: I know for sure that being young is easy! To speak to young people in the same language, I myself had to reduce my age to 16-17 years. My son has just that. I was monitoring him and I knew he would take what was going on in the show. At some point, I felt like I was 17 years old too. Getting into the company of my peers, I felt like a little boy, I thought and communicated like teenagers.
How much this immersion effect will work – we will soon find out. New comedy series “Is it easy to be young?” – from January 26 at 20.30 on TNT.
