Generation wanted Season 1 to end with an "very immersive-feeling finale"

TVLine

"We thought a lot about how to construct and film this so that you feel like you’re there at that party, and it feels as stressful and chaotic as it does to these characters," says co-creator Daniel Barnz. "We realized the way to do that was to not intercut between scenes, so that it felt like you were moving in between them in real time. (Co-creator) Zelda (Barnes) and I wrote it and I knew I was going to direct it, so we were able to write knowing exactly how we wanted to shoot it." Daniel and Zelda Barnes also offered a preview of what Generation would look like if HBO Max ordered a second season.
