Skins

I'd be lying if I said my mind wasn't blown by this show. It greatly exceeded my expectations. The acting was spot on, soundtrack was simply remarkable and the direction of this show was astonishing. I cried more than once throughout my viewing, the show just immerses you into the plot that you live with the drama. I consider my self to be a TV fanatic, with having watched well over 90 TV shows, this one is definitely stood out. This show will stand a testament that good TV does exist and that we may not be as diverse as our cousins from across the pond but we can sure as shit can make good Tele.

Alright I love this series, taking out the third generation, this show is real, that's the best and the worst part of it.
May seem over exaggerated but I believe it shows an aspect of life that we like to pretend doesn't exist. All the fuckups, and the unfair, they all are, we're all somewhat fuckups, life never turns out perfectly fine at the end; and I think the last season was brutally real, wasn't indulgent, stayed in character everything that happened in the other seasons, and didn't lie; life is wonderful, but sad most of the time, things don't turn out okay after a shitty time.
Skins shows people that aren't often portrayed on tv, people that we need to talk about, with problems society doesn't try to solve as hard as it should, rather society makes them worst in most cases; and the shows talks about them in the most real way, with all the bad that it is, but trying to deal with it with humor, as real life.
Obviously don't take it as a bible, life isn't exactly this, and doesn't have to be, it's just another part of the story and for what it is, it's beautifully done.

Anyone ever watch Harmony Korine's "Kids" 1995?
Well, Skins is basically the television series version of that movie. It revolves around topics of reality that people are afraid to face are real and pretend they actually don't exist. Each episode revolves around a specific character that is within this group of friends and it alternates back and forth, giving every character a chance to have their story developed on screen. Every two seasons we are introduced to a new generation which at first I thought was irritating, but in all honesty, the writers are brilliant! The show presents us to friendship, love, drugs, sex, sexuality, religion, the struggles that come within families, search for identity, etc. I would definitely recommend this show. It says so much about youth and the horrid events that specifically adults who are parents hate to know are true.
Season 3-4, Generation 2 are my favourite <3 I miss this so much. *cries*

I got too attached to the first gen I never gave the other gens a chance >.

Skins ended when the 4th season ended.

Quite literally the best show I've ever seen. The way that they give us three sets of characters, all of whom are completely diverse and hit almost every social issue in the book, is flawless. I have found some of the most relatable characters ever from this show and have even figured out part of who I am from them as well. I have rewatched this show multiple times and can never get enough. I feel like this is a show that should be seen by everybody, it's just that good. Wish season 7 never happened but the rawness of it all was so amazing. Please watch and stan Emily Cassie Gracey and Rich <3

Lovelyyy

I couldn't breathe when Sid was at the club with the lousy music ,so loud he couldn't even hear his own thoughts,Alice practice was playing,everyone was dancing and everything was so confusing and then he realise that his father is dead and hugs Tony and have a breakdown while he's crying and screaming
