Synopsis
Generation 56k (Generazione 56k, 2021) is an Italian comedy series you can watch online on iFILM. A chance meeting pushes two thirty-somethings back to 1998 — the summer their hormones woke up and a screeching dial-up modem changed everything.
Two childhood friends from a small town in southern Italy once fell in and out of love while figuring out the early internet one busy phone line at a time. Two decades later, fate throws them back together, and the past refuses to stay buried. Angelo Spagnoletti and Cristina Cappelli lead a cast in a show that cross-cuts between then and now, rhyming late-nineties teenage disasters with the swipe-and-match dead ends of dating in the app era.
The series comes from The Jackal, Italy's kings of online comedy, with episodes directed by Francesco Capaldo and Alessio Maria Federici. The result is warm, floppy-disk nostalgia for anyone who remembers tying up the landline just to get online. Stream every episode of Generation 56k online on iFILM.
