Skins

[5co77ie]

Judging by the content of the adverts this show is firmly aimed at the female market. Least that girl did a better (if still wooden) performance than she did as Lyra in Golden Compass.

[saratink]

Ohhhh I wondered who that girl looked like!!!

It was shite, disappointed!

Not bad, at least it's better than the last few series but that's not saying much. It seems like the writers were watching Mean Girls too many times before they wrote the script.

Judging by the end, I'm guessing Milli (was that her name? The blonde too-much-effort nasty one) will either get her comeuppance or change her ways.

I'm a little upset that the little sister of the boring one who got killed last series doesn't seem to be in it, small loss. Also is it me or does one of the blonde one's friends look just like Jal from the first cast?

I like the one-character style, especially in the first series of a cast. It sets Skins apart from any old teen drama.

Its was ok when they first kind of had a general focus, but that seemed to focused on frankie especially for the first epsiode they should introduced the others a bit more.

Was a bit shit, I think i wanna like skins more than I actually do like it. Shame we didn't see more of the rest of the cast and I preferred the idea from the 1st gen, where they all seemed to have there friendship already there instead of being a bit disjointed. The next one looks a bit better and more like the fun skins.

Also do all sixth formers take drugs in the middle of a street in broad daylight?

I watched the 1st episode again last night and is it me or does it look like whenever Frankie talks she is being dubbed like in an old Bruce Lee film?

I thought that was Huey, I had to wait till the end credits to make sure.

[tori1607]

I agree, Liv really does look like Jal from season 1/2.

[Jackmypie]

Wow people are still watching this?

Didn't think much to the first episode but the last have been ok.I really liked last weeks one but maybe that's because I'm an old 'metal head'.

[rexclark]

Enjoyed the second episode but I doubt I'll watch any more. the characters do seem better but their time is up. the first season was something different, everything after was just shite, especially series 3 and 4.

The first series was amazingly cast, they were particularly bang on with the male characters. I feel since series one a lot of the comedy and charm has gone. At times it feels like they are trying too hard to be both edgy and fashionable.

It's been gradually getting worse as the series have went on.

Or perhaps I'm just getting old.

Agreed

Don't think we bothered with the last one at all, what series number is this?

First couple were great, changed the cast and then went downhill

[Banana Co]

The first series was great, the second series was average, the third series was good (Cook being the best actor and character and Kaya Scodelario being awful) then it all went to shit. These new series (5+6) are just too depressing.

[nightcrawler13]

walked in on two guys discussing how good it was to kill someone with a baseball bat in a bar in Manchester last night, I was like ...

The guy laughed and said he used to be in Skins and had killed off one of the characters? I thought Skins was about pretty college students taking drugs, this guy was like 30. Can anyone tell me if I was had or not?

[eFestivals]

Can anyone tell me if I was had or not?

I've never watched skins and know nothing about it.

But I do know that many of the supposed 18 year olds in Hollyoaks have been much nearer 30 than 18, so its quite possible he wasn't telling porkies.

Skins was pretty good for having actual teenagers playing teenagers, the 1st cast aren't even in their mid 20's yet despite the show starting in 2007ish.
