Review of Skins

Skins (2007–2013)
7/10
Very good teen drama.
15 June 2020
I agree with the general consensus. Seasons 1 to 4 is the best part, of the series.

First generation (season 1 and 2), is so good on the first year, with all these colorful characters and episodes, you find year 2 very disappointing, and only hold on to little moments of greatness it has (the Cassie episode, for example).

Second generation (season 3 and 4), is just perfect. It is filled with charismatic characters, with very entertaining lives and a three dimensional dynamic. It's a real shame things got so out of hands at the last minute... Third generation, is a different story. Season 5 was your run of the mill teen drama, but had some interesting characters and plots. Then season 6 was just 90210 with British characters.

The conclusion, season 7: All I can say is how depressing these kids lives got over the years. And only the Effy centric episodes, were those really worth a watch.

I can't emphasize enough on how some seasons are better than others. But it's a must watch, and a show I hope will be remembered and broadcasted for a long time. With the original soundtrack, please. I'm sick of all the elevator music/jingles. It is worse than no music at all.
